This week Anna and Paul are ranking some adventure games that weren't made by Sierra or LucasArts. If Paul got his way this episode is called I Have No Willy And I Must Beamish, but I'm guessing it's prolly something clunky and annoyingly descriptive. Anyway this was fun, Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are ranking Sierra Point And Clicks, AGAIN! This time they do it even more betterly. That's not true, it's still pretty cavalier if not lawless, but this time it's the titles released in 1993-1996. Ish. What game comes out on top? Totally forgot. For sure a Sierra one though. Mangia!

So please consider enjoying this, we'll be back with a proper episode in 2 weeks time, MANGIA!

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!
