Are you a gaming virgin? Let the chaps direct you to the very best starter games for those approaching the hobby, tabula rasa.
This week: Minty chips through his backlog, Jonathan fills in gaps in his knowledge of 16-bit movie tie-ins, and Chris explores a parody game.
23rd favourite games of all times, you say?
Chris dehydrates himself talking about the hyper stylised, ultra violent Hotline Miami, a "ten out of ten game with an eleven out of ten soundtrack".
Minty pogos as Scrooge McDuck in DuckTales on the NES, making special mention of its Moon theme - a chiptune classic tied indelibly to a video charting the inaugural flight of a balloon laden Bichon Frise.
Jonathan hopes to do justice to two podcast faithfuls with his run down of Heroes of Might & Magic 3, a game designed for, in his words, "those who are smarter than me".
Have these three games ever come up in the same conversation before? No, no they haven't.
