Hey! It’s always a good day when a Sprite Castle is released. I was shocked to hear you say that there were no black players in the game because I distinctly remembered them. Then I looked it up and found out that I had only played football and baseball. I did appreciate, at least in baseball, how there was more than just one token girl to add to your team. Way more forward thinking than other media of the time.

That was a good podcast, Flack. I am not really familar with the Street Sports Basketball game since I didn’t grow up a Commodore 64, but a Vic20. Yet, I am sure my cousin was familar with the game since he owned a C64 in the 1980s.
