Should something that didn't hit the mark be remade so it has a second chance at life? Is there media that shouldn't be remade because it's too problematic? Are there games that are untouchable? On this episode of First Gen Gamers, Ashley and Jed discuss their picks for games that, for one reason or another, should never be remade. Are the games too good? Too unique? Too controversial? Only one way to find out what they picked!

Perhaps no console has such a negative reputation as the Philips CDi.

It's a look beyond the infamy and the memes inside a console and a library that many have overlooked.
