Podcast Episode 2: January 1995

Our second episode rings in 1995 with a discussion of how PC game developers and publishers responded to the the '94 senate hearing on objectionable game content before diving into impressions of January's PC Gamer coverdisc demos. Transport Tycoon, Warcraft and Lords of the Realm are highlights, but we encounter a few exceptional lesser-knowns as well. With his Pentium 100 rig now "fully operational," Auston shares his experiences running buggy demos on period-correct hardware.
