Hey there! You found the show notes section! Typically, you can find links to all the cool Level Zero stuff, like our twitter and website. Although, I'm never sure how many people actually read the show notes, much less click through these links.
A nice experiment might be to email Greg at hi@levelzeropod.com and let him know how much you miss him. That sounds like a fun way to get you engaged and a wholesome way to support the show! You can also let Preston know how meta these show notes are. Oh wait. I put the episode subject in the show notes, thereby breaking the weird meta joke about not talking about what the episode is actually about! The jig is up! Cheese it!

After the sloppy launch of the Sega Saturn in 1995, Sega was struggling. The second half of the 90’s would prove to be a challenge for the company, but there was one more shot at success: The Dreamcast. Would it be enough to save the company?
Journey back with us to second half of the 90’s to take a look at Sega’s internal struggles, the “most successful launch in entertainment history” with the Dreamcast, and what brought about the end of Sega in the console market. Greg dives into the details with the help of video game historian, Alexander Smith.

The history of The Legend of Zelda series, and the Legends behind it: Part 1! As part of the celebration of the 35th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda franchise, this episode is Part 1 of a special Mini-Series on the "Legends" behind the Legend of Zelda franchise. This episodes dives into the origin of the original Legend of Zelda and the developers behind it. Focusing on the first two decades of Shigeru Miyamoto's career and how he created the action-adventure genre just one year after creating Super Mario Brothers. But it wasn't just Miyamoto, two others were key in creating The Legend of Zelda. Takashi Tezuka and Koji Kondo played an instrumental role and Zelda could not have been made without them.
It's not just an origin story though, this episode focuses on the first five entries in the Zelda series, including Zelda 2, Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, and Ocarina of Time.
