This week we discuss games with great stories. Join us as we attempt to isolate games by their story and discuss the story itself. Also we take a brief moment to talk about the wrist watch you had in 1994.

Game Graphics We Adore

This week we discuss graphics in general but end up dwelling mostly on the games from 1987-1991. We discuss loosing dithering to hand painted backgrounds, games that set incredible atmosphere with its graphics and much more. 
 
Apologies! We experienced some technical difficulties recording this one so please excuse the background noise, we will have it corrected for next week’s show!

Our Most Replayed Games (and a huge tangent)

Episode 105: We return from our holiday break to talk about the games that we have replayed the most number of times, and eventually derail into talking about Sierra vs LucasArts because that's how we do.

Sim City - goodbye, sleep!

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

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.
