Board Games is the topic of Episode 107, that is, video games based on actual board games like Clue or Monopoly, or, video game board games like Itadaki Street and Bakushou Jinsei Gekijou.  This is ends up being a great topic, because it makes Brent and Rob delve into a whole new, unexplored faction of video game titles and video game music, especially some very obscure Japanese stuff, and in
