1994 Game of the Year Tournament (SEASON FINALE PART 4)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/12/24

Both of our GOTY's for this year were supposed to be one episode but we finally realized that that episode would be 6 hours long and so we've split it up! This week, 16 of the best games from 1994 go head to head until we determine which of them was the best. SEGA vs Nintendo. RPGs vs Action games. There's a lot to cover! Next week, the 1994 GOTY will compete with the 2024 GOTY to determine, once and for all, which year was best... To see the most up to version of The OGA 100,

2024 Honorable Mentions (SEASON FINALE PART 3)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/12/17

This week the boys are tired because they recorded all of the episodes in one night but we still get a lot of good talk into this one. We're talking about all the random 2024 games we didn't get to this year either because we didn't play it, didn't finish it, or just didn't get it into the podcast schedule! It's a fun one. In the opening Hunter calls his friend a "dumb guy" but I want you to know it was meant with love. See you again soon for our goty episode and the re-ranking of the list

1994 Honorable Mentions (SEASON FINALE PART 2)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/12/10

This episode opens with discussion of PULP FICTION, which has notably never been discussed on a podcast by boys before so get ready for that. The rest of the episode is a silly romp where the boys round up some of the games they didn't have time for that came out thirty years ago. EJ throws some joke entries in there, and Sun gets confused about the rules. It's a classic!To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit

Astro Bot (2024)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/11/12

We're close to the end of the year and we had a late surprise GOTY contender in Sony and Team Asobi's Astro Bot. A character and studio previously relegated to tech demos for Sony were finally given the reins to their own full game and they completely knocked it out of the park. We're obsessed with this little and I'm ready for the return of the mascot platformer. Sony, you've maybe won over a new crony... To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit
