Games are complicated. In most of them, you are a superhero, a force to be recognized with or something even superior to that in the case of strategy games or management ones - but some games are happy to just have you be a normal citizen in a different world, trying to survive and get by. This episode we explore these games that have you play as common folk in weird, dystopian worlds and give you a choice in making the world a better place.

Saints Row and Older Games!

Back to the era of larger than life shoulderpads, incredible volumous hair and incredibly forced heteronormative behavior as we go back to the 80's! To kickstart our new season (and to kickstart pride month) we are shifting gears as Arcade Militia now will focus 100% to Queer Games - games where LGBTQIA+ identities and experiences are the primary focus! This week we take a look at two games, Hong Kong 1986's Summer's End and Lake as we talk about the games and how they tackle lesbianism in the not-so friendly times of the 80's. As always you can support us on patreon at https://www.patreon.com/jackiecomics! We hope you enjoy this new direction and these new episodes we have prepared!
