Gemfire Edition

December 1992 is winding down, but the games have not been great and they really start fraying Link’s nerves in this episode.

Link and Emmy talk about Gemfire which was a more approachable strategy game for the duo than Romance of the Three Kingdoms before it, but still not their cup of tea. 

Then it’s on to Gods, a janky sidescroller that seems ill-suited to the SNES. Can Emmy and Link come up with something nice to say about it?

Finally they talk about Goal! a soccer game that pales in comparison to the soccer games that have come before it on the system. It’s a rough trio of games in a month that’s had a lot of rough an mediocre-at-best games.
