Dec 20, 2019

With the help of our friend Bennett Foddy (QWOP, Getting Over It) we consider Spelunky as the Game of the Decade - we discuss what influence it's had (or hasn't had) in and beyond its genre, its distinct connection to Dark Souls, and experiencing the external narrative of modern gaming.

Things we discussed:

Ape Out

TIGSource

Tim Rogers Presents The Games of the Decade

Finishing a Game by Derek Yu

Vagante

Characteristics of Games
