Save Our Games!
All aboard! Welcome to the HMS Games, where we’ll be broadcasting the TRUTH about video games, straight from an undisclosed marine location. Headed by Captain Aubrey Nintendo and her crew of pirate-radio gaming whizz-kids, this ship is on a mission: to save our games from the bigwigs who want to shut us DOWN. So sit back, start listening, and do not track the source of this radio signal, as we give you the low-down on all things gamery. Welcome! To Save Our Games.
