Adam and Christopher saying that Freedom Five is canonical to Universe 1, it’s just a retelling of events, doesn’t make a ton of sense to me. How can both be true?
Like, Freedom Five says that the Blade Battalion are the disorganized crime forces of Megalopolis now unified. And while that could have been a story, that’s certainly not what the Blade Battalion forces are in summary.
Relistening to this, and the time travel discussion reminded me that I think that Day of the Tentacle is still the best oldie but goodie for “time manipulation” video game stories.
(Though I think I Was a Teenage Exocolonist is a notable one where playing with foreknowledge is concerned if not strictly actual time travel.)
