The gang takes on The Storied Sword for NES and Dreamcast, a Princess Bride-inspired tribute to Ninja Gaiden and Sunsoft's Batman. Is "NES hard" too extreme for modern gamers? Inconceivable!
Still need to play the game? Get links to all physical and digital versions (including a free demo) at Bitethechili.com.
We did a livestream playthrough of this one back in April 2024. Check it out here.
Here's the video trailer Bart and Nick made for The Storied Sword's Kickstarter campaign.
Our next game is Inspector Waffles: Early Days for the Game Boy Color. You can find the digital on Itch.io or Steam, or get a physical copy from Broke Studio.
Recommended by Nick's wife, here's a Pumpkin Old Fashioned cocktail you can impress your friends with over the holidays.
