This episode is all about righting a terrible wrong. A few years ago I did an episode of my 40 for 40 series on this game and in my opinion it was awful. I spent only 20 minutes to cover not only the original Donkey Kong but also Donkey Kong Jr and the original Double Dragon. This is the first part of trying to right that terrible wrong. To help me with that is competitive Donkey Kong player Dearest Abby! This is definitely an episode you WON'T want to miss. End Song: Jump Up, Super Star!

On this episode I tried something a little different. This episode is all about Animal Crossing New Horizons, but specifically memories from the 2020 pandemic involving New Horizons. I've talked before about the importance of contextual preservation of video games and this is my stab at just that.
