YouTube sensation Stuart Ashen is back with his second installment of terrible old computer games you’ve probably never heard of, because what the world needs right now is to know exactly how badDomain of the Undead for the Atari 8-bit computers was. Even bigger than the original Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of, this second excavation of gaming’s buried past will not only unearth more appalling excuses for digital entertainment, but also feature guest contributors and several special interest chapters not based around single specific games.
