13: Welcome to Die - a podcast by Thats Orange, LLC

When did video games start using "lives"? More importantly, when and why did they stop? With this changing,
what does it mean to die in a game?



Vinnk and SeanOrange examine the games that pioneered this mechanism, and take a look at when and why
it started changing. Was it with games like Myst, or did adventure-style games always buck this trend?
Has the fall of arcade gaming lead games to be easier, and therefore no longer need "lives"?
