These stories and many more on this episode of the VGNRTM

This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in January 1992. As always, we'll mostly be using magazine cover dates, and those are of course always a bit behind the actual events.

Peter is on vacation so we have the pleasure of being joined by our guest co-host Jon from the Retro Games Squad https://retrogamesquad.libsyn.com/
