I am very pleased to announce THAT WAS A GAME – the newest show on the All My Friends Network!

THAT WAS A GAME is our first video series, specifically looking at odd uses of classic IPs and licenses in videogame form.  On our first episode, we look at 1998’s “James Bond 007”, a Game Boy game made in the wake of the Nintendo 64’s “Goldeneye 007”.

Please sound off in the comments what games you’d like to see, and what you’d like to see more of!
