This week on The Retro League we try to decipher the plot of Chrono Cross, speculate why no ones cares about Q*Bert anymore, and follow the trail of a Sonic prototype. Our games of the week are a Game Boy game you've probably never played, a Pac Man game on a system that tanked, and the first installment of the Thief series.
