Phill, Vicky and Nick head back in time to the Cold War to find out how one Russian's hobby became the biggest puzzle game of the late 80s.

Meanwhile in the gameplay: a single round of Tetris where I played badly.

Big Nostalgia is a podcast produced by ABK Studios and hosted by Phill, Vicky and (from 2025:) Nick. It covers games from our childhood and games we have particular nostalgia for. We talk about their development, their stories, how they came into being conceptually, plus a lot of talk about our own experiences along the way. Full podcast playlist:    • Big Nostalgia Podcast
