Sometimes you stumble on a game which doesn't click with you right away, but does later on with a fresh mindset. Pastfinder is easily one of those, it might look like a straight-forward blaster on first glance, but its resource management gives you plenty to ponder.

This episode dives right into this futuristic release, checking out both the original Atari 8-bit release, alongside the conversion to the Commodore 64.

Chapters:
00:00 Intro
01:11 Pastfinder in Action
06:40 Comparing the Platforms
10:40 Outro
