ARGcast #99: Celebrating the Wonderful Women of Gaming

The women have taken over! Join us along with guests Mandy Paez, Amanda Farough, and Liana Ruppert for a very special episode where they share their personal stories working in the gaming industry. Some of these may shock you! We also discuss empowering female characters throughout video game history.

This is a jam-packed episode, and not in small part to the news this week! We cover the Chrono Trigger Steam release that "steamed" and "triggered" many fans, the announcement of old school style FPS Ion Maiden, the reveal of a long-lost Donkey Kong game, the new retro inspired title Fox n Forests hitting Kickstarter, and the discovery that Alex Kidd in Miracle World was almost a Dragon Ball game!

The Stage of History this week includes the female-led classics Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, and Beyond Good & Evil. Robert then gets his groove on with Space Channel 5 in Obscura. Don't forget to grab our code giveaways for The Walking Dead: A New Frontier, and My Lovely Daughter. Finally, we close out this lengthy episode with another round of Random Select. Can you guess who David is in time for lunch?
