    The Bee In The Gas Cap Aftershow
    In this week’s Aftershow we dive into the TurboGrafx-16 and specifically try to figure out why the platform was not successful in the U.S. This is based upon a forum thread on Resetera. It’s not exactly a quiz, but it’s a fun little trek down memory lane. If you have an idea for a game we can play in the Aftershow, email it to us at playeronepodcast@gmail.com!

Great

Been listening for years and look forward to every new episode. Great show. Thanks for the years of entertainment.

Sir Dreamstate ,

Timeless classic with endless fun

These guys have been doing this for well over 12 years and yet it always seems fresh. I am always amazed not only of their industry knowledge, but their ability to remember names and details on the fly. The Patreon weekly game show is always fun to play along. Thanks for all you guys do and here’s to another 850 shows!
