FuncoLand
Retro Blast (Retro Gaming Podcast)
It's 2002. I'm 17 years old... I just landed a job at FuncoLand at the height of the 6th console gen.

Onimusha Warlords
Retro Blast (Retro Gaming Podcast)
Onimusha Warlords was a very early PS2 title that many refer to as just 'Resident Evil, but Samurai and Demons'.
