In this episode, Professor Will Brooker makes his return visit and chats with Kingy, the oddity that is/was British Gaming. They discuss the obscure British references during the 8-bit era; a time when international sales was but a pipe dream.

Join the guys as they take a stroll down suburbia and chat about working class depictions in games.
