Ex-Mutants with Karrington Martin (Real Dudes Podcast)

In the far far future of 2055 the world has somehow survived World War III. Except with all of the nuclear explosions and toxins in the environment and stuff like that the world’s population has all turned into mutants. Let’s ignore that the science doesn’t work there at all. But one scientist found a way to turn mutants back into humans! And yes, we’re ignoring that science there as well.

Listen in as Karrington Martin from Real Dudes Podcast comes on to talk about this little known comic (at least to everyone I talked to) that someone has a game that is pretty well known game, at least in the Retro Gaming circles.

Learn such things as:

  • Who picked this comic to get a game anyway?
  • Why are there different sets of characters?
  • What esoteric thing did Chris get hung up on with the game?
  • And much more!

Also have a look at the Wikipedia list of games based on comics. I haven’t added this game to the list on purpose, but I might go back and do it later.
