Down Memory Game is a TTRPG, Boardgame and nostalgia podcast. What do we mean by that? Well, we talk about games we have in our collections but we tie it in to the times when we purchased them or played them the most, but we also tie it in with the movies, tv shows and books we were consuming at the time and how they influenced our games. We hope you enjoy the trip down memory game with us!
The second episode of Down Memory Game and our first Christmas special were we occasionally shoe horn in a Christmas reference into our nerd banter about all things tabletop and geek culture. The year is 1982/83. Phil, Andy and our very special guest, Dave from The Frankenstein RPG Podcast https://www.frankensteinrpg.co.uk/ talk about Star Frontiers, more Cthulhu, Ogre, Fighting Fantasy and much more!
You can also reach out to us all on twitter @silverwillo, @tangledandy, @Davepaters.
All of us here at Down Memory Game, including our wonderful guests, would like to wish everyone a very happy holidays!

Down Memory Game - Introduction
Greetings and welcome to the Down Memory Game Podcast…
Down Memory Game (DMG) is a tabletop gaming and nostalgia show. What does that mean? Well, the tabletop gaming bit refers to RPGs, Board games, war games and card games. The only rule is that the games in question have to have been owned by one of the show members.
What about the nostalgia bit? Well between us we have a lot of games, and a lot of years playing them! We want to explore how we were playing the games at the time and looking back, how we felt the pop culture of the era influenced how we played those games. So, what books were we reading? What movies and tv shows were we watching at the time? How they may have they affected how we played said games?
