Back before we were inundated with generation upon generation of games in an endless race for technological supremacy, we had a common reference point in those oversized gray cartridges. Scott White gets nostalgic (and a little bit musical) about it in All That's Fit for 8 Bits, a tonally upbeat journey through the original NES library.

Double Dragon

Double Dragon

Double Dragon hasn't aged as well as other NES classics, lacking the co-op mode that eventually came to define the genre, but the way it gradually introduces more advanced moves and more intense combat still gives it an addictive quality, with a killer soundtrack to boot. Special guest: Jorah Mormont*
