This is a gem!
Was a real thrill to see Doug Adams talking bubbily and enthusisastically about his upcoming game Bureaucracy (unlike the game itself by all accounts.)
Rest of the program looks at 4 really average games which didn't leave any real mark.
Still, if you're fanatical about the early gaming scene this is worth the effort.
