#85 – A Look at the Systems Failure RPG
Join us for a look into the innards of Palladium's oft-forgotten Y2K-themed apocalypse game, Systems Failure. I can't help but assume that if you are a Palladium fan, then you probably know of and even remember Y2K, but for those new to the concept, just know that the tech world collectively lost its shit in the late 1990s thanks to some short-sighted date formatting in the computers of Early Man. This game takes that to the next level!
