The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast

GAMES HAVE CHARACTERS (or ”Protagonists”)

So, you want to talk about heroes? Is what we shoulda called this. Anyway this week Anna & Paul talk about the variations of protagonist and then attempt to apply them correctly to each LucasArts and Sierra protagonist*. It was fun and oddly on topic, enjoy!

*not all of them, nerd. Also Paul regrets not mentioning the Failed Hero and failing to articulate the Hero of Their Own Story. Like Larry. Okay go, drink some water.

Enjoy!

Big Sexy Boxes

Anna and Paul are back for a brand new year of banter, on brand new old games. Just old games. Maybe new games that seem old too, idk. Anyway, this week they talk about one of their favorite subjects, big, big 'ole boxes. Full of disks. Of adventures games*.  This is a lovely, casual reunion, with big boxes spread out on the tables and a branching dialog tree from there. 
We hope you enjoy, sorryaboutthemicbumpswonthappenagain, happy new year!!

*Anna mentions a not-adventure game once, too. Paul tunes out but you shouldn't.

Sarah & Anna’s Musical Picks

This week Anna and Sarah talk about music from their favorite classic computer games. From overall soundtracks and scores, to ambient music, title theme songs and more- don't worry, they cover all of the... basses (sorry, Anna is making me say that). We hope you enjoy the show!
Also a huge thank you to our listeners and Patreons for your patience and understanding and we are happy to announce that Paul will be rejoining Anna on the show next week, when the show will return to whatever it thinks normal is- including bi-weekly episodes :)

Mystery Games

This week Anna is joined by guest host Sarah and they had a lot of fun talking about mysteries- with the real mystery being, what is a mystery game? What differentiates it from say, an Adventure game? Join us as we possibly find that out, talk about some of our favorite mystery games past and present and divulge the deets on Steam sales that may or may not be current, but are mystery games that are always worth picking up! We hope you enjoy listening!
Paul will return next episode, probably! If not Sarah will be back! (also, Sarah, can you do next week if I can't? I already told them you could)

Adventure Game Puzzles

This week Anna & Paul take a look at the many different types of puzzles in adventure games. From inventory based to branching dialogs and the many in between, they go over all of them and cite which are crowd favorites and why, based on what Paul generously calls “research”. It was a real good time, come hear what they had to say about your most and least favorite types of puzzle!

David Homb Returns! (Actor, Phantasmagoria)

This week our great mate David Homb returns for a chat! We were so excited to sit down with David again that we even put the band back together as Ric sits in on the conversation too! We talk about stories from filming Phantasmagoria, about a top-secret new project David is working on for the gaming community and we discuss David's new book "Awake, I Dream" which has a very interesting connection to Phantasmagoria!
It was a wonderful time, we really hope you enjoy and please check out David's book on Amazon!

Back In... 1984-86 - The Years In Gaming

We are edging closer to the dawn of classic gaming! When faced with an ever-depleting list of games to cover and a fear of not having enough material for an entire episode, Anna & Paul decided to cover three years in-one, and that was more or less a mistake. However, they had fun digging through, discussing and compiling a little highlight reel of games from a depressing amount of years ago, for real don't do the math. But do enjoy listening!
