Not Mario, not Zelda, but Donkey Kong is a game in which you go around and just bash the hell out of everything.

I bounced, as they say, pretty quickly.

My child beat the game.

He just wanted to go around and break stuff.

Nothing.

I can tell you that.

Nothing.

Before we wrap up here, however, I'd love to hear the two of you talk about other great games maybe that you played this year that didn't get, you know, quite as much hype as the list that we just went through.

Okay, let's take a short break.

And when we come back, as we do every week, we're going to play a game.

A game for gamers.

Zach, Jason, we're going to end this episode as we end every episode of the Sunday special with a game.

But given that this episode is about games, we felt like we had to raise the bar.

So let me explain to you what's going to happen.

We are going to play an RPG, a role-playing game, like Player Obscure Expedition 33, but...

significantly less expensive game i have a role-playing game here in front of me that has been specifically designed for you to play this episode the two of you should feel honored uh and in honor of the classic computer rpg zork we're calling this game the new zork times i love it i know i know it's fantastic i'm i'm very proud of it

This is a co-op game in the mold of a game like Split Fiction, which we talked about earlier.

So you play together.

Can you do this?

Forget it.
