## Resource

This week on The Weekly Warp Pipe, we’re spinning the wheel of Video Game Box Art Roulette! 🎰 Back in the day, we didn’t have YouTube reviews or gameplay trailers — we had to judge a game by its cover art. So we’re looking at a bunch of retro game boxes and asking the ultimate question: would we have rented it? Join us as we dive into some classic NES, SNES, and Genesis covers, share memories of renting games from Blockbuster and local video stores, and laugh at some of the wildest and most misleading art ever printed! Plus, our regular segments return: 🎮 Warp Pipe Rental – this week’s game pick is Earthworm Jim 🎲 Rad or Bogus – two items enter, one stays! 🤔 And Pop Quiz Hot shot - Sonic the Hedgehog 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment which game YOU would have rented based on the cover! ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐-------------------------------------------------------------------- Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT5AWnB5OdPO7Gy-MKxbP8g/join ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐-------------------------------------------------------------------- 🟥 Subscribe now to see new Videos! ► 🎙 The Weekly Warp Pipe - Saturdays at 9am Here on Youtube, or Spotify, Apple Podcast, or anywhere you listen to Podcast ► www.TheWeeklyWarpPipe.com 📞 CALL US or send a TEXT MESSAGE (949) 682 - 9277 ☎️ ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ 👀 Watch MORE of The Weekly Warp Pipe: Name That Quote ►► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eZu9MQYGZM&list=PLqxkY8TzseqSMVnSjWyfZnu57vi0gDdYs Rad or Bogus Playlist ►► https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqxkY8TzseqQyfxY9l7EbTWKIUd5MsTcw&si=tfLG1bzFcz1-faVp Warp Pipe Rental Playlist ►►https://youtu.be/hTduElDd-BQ?si=WrdDu09fL1agnuOI ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐…
