The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast

This week Anna & Paul are talking about the best King’s Quest game. Right away you’re prolly like, well it’s between 2, maybe 3 of them. And not 2 like King’s Quest 2 because frankly, pee-youuu, that’s the worst one without a Conner in it. And KQ3, say what you will- you know what- I’m gonna stop talking now before I ruin it. Go, press play and mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are taking you through a point and click adventure game that is often referred to as "surprisingly really good". What game is that? The one that's the title of the episode omg it's so long, don't make me type it out again. FINE, Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity. Okay I actually copied and pasted it, that wasn't so bad/sorry for yelling.
Basically they attempt to give you a solid second hand experience with the game, essentially playing it for you. I mean they didn't really hit that mark but that, that's what was attempted. But they did have fun and laugh a lot so maybe you will too, who knows. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are talking about great adventures that don't always get the attention they deserve. Kinda like you, maybe. Anyway without spoiling the games mentioned, because I mean ca'mon, half the fun is finding out if they said the thing you wanted them to say, but the games mentioned span from 1984 to 2020 and for the first time, Paul mentions a non-adventure game! What is it you ask, well, it's definitely not James Pond 1. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are talking about Thimbleweed Park and Paul says "to those listening" a lot, which is weird because that's everyone. But besides that it’s actually pretty listenable and it serves as a comprehensive* review of a modern classic. Mangia!

*arguably. It’s arguably comprehensive.

This week Anna & Paul embark on a journey of self growth, where you might say they learn a few things a long the way. Or maybe along the way. That's, spelling that word is one of the things they learned. If you're a fan of adventure games, laughter or Nietzsche, you're going to want to listen to this one, it's even got some accidental profundity at the end.
Wanna know what's actually talked about in the episode? Fair enough. Defining adventure comedy, fourth wall breaking, red herrings, narration, in-jokes, visual gags, funny deaths, parody, straight-man characters and more! Actually and no more. Just those things I just said and nothing- not a single other thing, ever. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are talking about kids games that you could totally play too if you want, we won't tell anyone what a bloody weirdo you are. We're talkin' your Pajama Sam, your Freddy Fish, your Adam (the kid from EcoQuest), your Pepper's Adventures in We Haven't Played That One Yet, we've got em all folks. We even share helpful tips on how to indoctrinate your own kids, as adventure gamers!
Not helpful? Fine, we discuss the difference between edutainment and kids games and how adventure games teach kids how to think, not what to think. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul get all whipped up over Adventurous Environments or Immersive Environments or whatever other versions of this show's title we didn't use, that also attempts to set an explorative mood. See like, Exploring Environments won because it's like, that's both what we did aaand it's what these environments were made for. For exploring. So. We explored them.
Okay fine, we talk about realistic vs stylized worlds, how different graphical versions change the mood of a game, the ingredients for a proper atmosphere, Memphis design and like, 3-6 other things. It was an exceptionally good time, you're gonna maybe love it, MANGIA!

This week Anna & Paul look at how Sierra and LucasArts approached making their games, the role of an adventure game and how consequence fell out of favor, with modern adventure games largely adapting the comfort approach to game play. Stay tuned to the end for a special announcement and please listen to this responsibly. Mangia!
