    Blade Runner
    Jul 2 2024

    This week Anna & Paul are talking about what it means to be human and to have played Blade Runner, the 1997 Adventure Game. This was a fun conversation that ranges from what a voxel actual is to the philosophical implications behind the questions that Blade Runner asks. And all from the differing perspectives of Anna, who is a newcomer to the IP and from Paul, who is a lifetime fan and Phillip K Dick about it. Mangia!

  • Sierra Remake Comparison IV: King's Quest

    Sierra Remake Comparison IV: King's Quest
    Jun 18 2024

    This week Anna & Paul are comparing the original* AGI King’s Quest with the SCI remake. It's part of our EGA vs VGA Sierra Comparison series except the King's Quest remake is still in EGA so technically it's- look it's all very nerdy and pedantic. Point is, a game was made, then it was remade and we're going to be the vessel in which you vicariously experience playing both through. Mangia!

    *So we both played the 1987 remake of the original 1984 PCjr release so really you could argue we're more comparing the remake to the remake but the original remake- of which the remake was based off of, isn't much of a remake, it's more a ported and patched version of that original boot disk version from the PCjr.

    I hope this didn't accidentally make sense.

    The Enduring Appeal of Pixel Art (feat. Tom Hardwidge)
    Jun 4 2024
    This week Anna & Paul are joined by Tom Hardwidge of Tall Story Games to talk about pixel art in adventure games! They discuss how pixel art began as result of a technical limitation and went on to become a stylistic choice that people still can't get enough of. They also discuss its role in adventure games, purist vs modernized pixel art, how they make pixel art and a whole bunch more! It was fun, flowy and I'm told at one point, somewhat coherent, Mangia!

  • The Dialectical Tension Between Point-and-Click Interfaces and Text-Parser Mechanisms in Digital Ludology. (feat. Slatts)

    The Dialectical Tension Between Point-and-Click Interfaces and Text-Parser Mechanisms in Digital Ludology. (feat. Slatts)
    May 21 2024
    This week Anna & Paul are joined by Ryan Slattery of Slatt Studio to discuss the pros and cons of text parser and the pros and cons of point and click, but like, comparatively. I guess it's parser vs point and click but idk, the "vs" gives it like a grudge match kinda vibe and we didn't really frame it like one of them has to win and the other lose. Here, let's start over with an overtly intellectual vibe: This week your hosts are joined by one R. J.

    Quest for Style: Character Design and Fashion in Adventure Games
    May 7 2024
    This week Anna & Paul are talking character design and are answering some super fun questions such as: Who's the most cosplayable character? If you had to dress like an adv game character for a month, who would it be? Which villain dressed the most villainy? What 2 characters would you freaky Friday? And a ton more, like, too much more.

    Adventure Game Sitcoms
    Apr 23 2024
    This week Anna & Paul reimagine some classic adventures as period correct TV sitcoms. Imagine Laura Bow having her own weekly whodunit series, Gabriel Knight starring in his own X-Files or shek this out, how about Leisure Suit Larry has a show right, and he lives with his mom who's like the Muppet Babies mom or wait no, she's like Howard Wolfowitz's mom, and anyway Larry keeps trying to get how would you say... his loins tended to, and it never works out kinda like how it nothing ever worked out for Al Bundy and so in the end he's always just back home with his mom. This episode, is that but like, more better. It's actually pretty listenable, you'll see, you'll all see. Mangia! Vote for The Phantom Fellows to be released on GOG! Wishlist our adventure game!
