Abnormal Mapping 99: End of the Decade Farewell Tour

On today’s very special Abnormal Mapping, we are here today to
celebrate the end of the year, and indeed the end of the decade!
We’ve got some lists of our favourite games, from this year and
the decade at large. There’s some music in there as well, but not
as much as on previous years, because it’s been a weird one.
Here’s to the second decade of podcasting. That’s a terrifying
thing to say.
