Runtime: 46 Minutes
We look back at Cave Story, originally released to Japanese audiences as a freeware game in December of 2004. We talk about the design process used by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya as a one person development team to create this indie classic. We'll also look at critic and user reviews of Cave Story, talk about all the different versions that you can find, and discuss the influence it's had on the video game industry as we take today's trip down Memory Card Lane.
