Sim City - goodbye, sleep!

December 8th, 2020

Episode 102: With Paul still taking time off, Ric and Anna seize the opportunity to talk about a non-adventure game, and decide on Sim City. A classic among classics, it's a game that even non-gamers at least know about. Come hear us reminisce on the Sim City experience!

Les Manley in: Search For The King - the dollar store Leisure Suit Larry

December 1st, 2020

Episode 101: That hiatus was inadvertent, but it was nice to have a break! Ric's mic is currently out of commission so his sound quality takes a hit as he makes do with a cheap headset. Oh and by the way, we talk about Les Manley a bit. If this write-up makes Les Manley sound rather irrelevant, then you pretty much understand his role in gaming history.

Episode 92: The interview that Paul, Anna, and Ric never thought would happen! Our guest this week is none other than the legendary Ken Williams, co-founder of Sierra On-Line and author of the upcoming book "Not All Fairy Tales Have Happy Endings". Much to our shock we are surprised with a special appearance by the notoriously elusive Roberta Williams to talk about what she's been working on lately!

What were their favourite projects? What Quest series almost happened but didn't? What did Roberta think of the King's Quest reboot? Which big time gaming companies were almost bought by Sierra? We have your answers in this extra long and extra special episode!
