About this listen

 Another week passes, another deluxe episode of Button Boys landing on your doormat. Tear the cardboard box open, peel the cellophane wrapper off and pop it into your console of choice (ears). This week the Boys reach deep into the crannies of their minds as they take a look back to their gaming origins. A time before controller mastery, when games were unfathomably hard and indescribably exciting. We also catch up with what everyone's been playing from Glenn's Sicilian getaway to Pierre's housebound adventures. It's not all sweetness and smiles here at Button Boy HQ though as the three of them get down and gripey with Glenn finding that it's often too little, too late.
