Now, most of my PN work is with brand-new games, but in the rare instances when I've reviewed a, a re-release of an NES title or maybe even a retro review, I've always had a clear separation between when they showed up on the site, uh, and/or the magazine, PNM, and when I later covered them on this show, sometimes even a decade or more in between.
Purely TrevHOST
I, I think of games like Double Dribble, Rollerball, Super Dodge Ball, to name a few.
Purely TrevHOST

the one player and giving input to your teammates, uh, when to pass, when to, uh, you know, attempt a goal.
Purely TrevHOST
And, you know, it goes back to some of that, the depth of strategy.
Purely TrevHOST
But, uh, even though it's a soccer game, I see some of the Super Dodge Ball arcade spirit for sure.
Purely TrevHOST
You know, with super shots, the ability to knock characters out, uh, at least for a half, [laughs] uh, different surfaces, you know, besides just playing in the grass, playing on the sand, playing on ice.
