These stories and many more on this episode of the Video Game Newsroom Time Machine
This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in March of 2001.
As always, we'll mostly be using magazine cover dates, and those are of course always a bit behind the actual events.
We are again joined by our guest co-host Jon from the Retro Games Squad
