Episode 166: The PS1 Draft
https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-166-98783232
Is Vagrant Story the PS1's equivalent to the languid Hotel Dusk on 3DS? Is that a shit take by an idiot, i.e. me?
Listen to find out!

It's another Back Page Pod Mailbag innit?
Give it a listen if you feel like.
Episode 165: The Cursed February Mailbag
https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-165-98542829
Pleasant enough this week.
Mailbags are mailbags, though, so it depends on how much you feel like hearing the same Discord user names pop up again and again.
But!
Next week will be the PS1 Draft and that will blow your feeble, mortal mind.
The lads and special guest Jeremy Peel break down how to write a feature piece for mags and online publications in episode 164: How to Write a Feature About Games
https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-164-how-98122832
If you grew up with games mags this is another must-listen episode of The Back Page.
Also go back and listen to episode 8, 20, 32, 39 and 50, and maybe 30, 65, 78 and 90, if you want more inside magazine stories.
This week we get another instalment in the Back Page Pod flagship retro format!
Episode 163: The Best Games of 2002
https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-163-best-97661870
But that's beside the point, you want the dirt; the deep Back Page Lore.
And this week we learn of Samuel's time with the Swastika Boys and how Matthew learned to smuggle contraband in his backpack at Homebase.
