TCW Podcast Episode 161 - The 100,000 Part 2

Part two of our look at the SPA's list of top programs of the 1990s! We cover more games, and focus on the ones that made it gold with 100,000 sold! We wrap up the episode with a few honorable mentions from the silver list of 50,000. We see some old favorites re-appear on the list. We also see some names we have not seen yet! Thank you again to all the fans for helping us to reach the milestone of 100,000 downloads!
