Sierra Remake Comparison IV: King's Quest

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/06/18

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!Wishlist our adventure game! The Phantom Fellows Let's hang out at the Adventure Game Fan

The Enduring Appeal of Pixel Art (feat. Tom Hardwidge)

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/06/04

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!Shek out Tom's games Lucy Dreaming

The Dialectical Tension Between Point-and-Click...

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/05/21

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. Slattery to discuss - Exegesis on

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/05/07

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. So join in as they get actually pretty bitchy in discussing adventure game fashion choices, it's a real good time. Mangia! Vote for The Phantom Fellows to be

Adventure Game Sitcoms

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/04/23

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

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/04/09

This week Anna & Paul are the sequel police because they're talking about sequels and frankly, how, what else would we call it, this is an adventure game podcast. Okay, so we've established that policing or otherwise work regarding crime solving will not be involved in the episode, what else? Oh so, we basically go through the games that had planned sequels and briefly discuss what they could have looked like but mostly, we mostly pitch each other sequels we want and what they might have been

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/03/26

This week Anna & Paul bring you the Sierra Remake Comparison IV: This One Isn't Even Sierra. Look, you all asked us about Loom and we finally answered.

Join us as we present to you our flimsy arguments as to which is the best while Paul upsets the LucasArts fans by constantly referring to the protagonist as Bobbin Threepbare and Bobbin Threadwood, possibly by

2024/03/12

This week Anna & Paul are joined by the magician I mean musician, Erik Elsom, the talented man behind Magic Map Studio and they are discussing King's Quest VI: Having Hair is Human. They chat about the game as if to verbally play it for you which typing that out, it's amazing anybody listens to this show. But you do! And this episode is a lot of fun, probably, if I'm honest, I'm typing this like an hour before recording. Oh man, I hope this didn't jinx it... Nah, it, it's gonna be fine. You'll

It's the AGI EGA original vs the SCI VGA remake! And it's not really versus, it's more a comparison but like how every parent secretly has a favorite child, we definitely liked one more than the other. Maybe, who really cares, Mangia!Vote

The Dig (Feat. Daniel Albu)

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/02/13

This week Anna & Paul are joined by special guest Daniel Albu (Conversations with Curtis) to excavate deep into The Dig. It was actually more work to avoid saying dig deep than it was worth. Anyway, actually, that's kinda it. I mean you know the deal, they talk about the game, which in this case is The Dig, you can already see they're joined by a guest, like usual the guest is prolly the knowledgable one in the group and then something something laughter and facts*.

This Was SO Last Year (RIP 2023)

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2024/01/02

This week Anna & Paul have a particularly casual conversation, looking back at all the CGG episodes from 2023, and then using their mouths to create sounds that are often- but not always- words, and then the goal here is that you like the words they say, which are again, inspired from them looking at past episodes and should potentially encapsulate feelings about said episodes. It's, this is a year in review. With a relaxed if not cozy vibe. Mangia! Vote for The Phantom Fellows to be released on

Adventure Game Interfaces

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2023/12/19

This week Anna & Paul discuss things, using words. Mangia! Okay fine. They talk about interfaces, gooey's and unique game mechanics! What do I mean? Unclear! Okay okay, for starters, gooey is neat for GUI's which is less nerdy for Graphical User Interfaces. And by interfaces I mean Text Parser, 9 Verb, 2-Click, Sierra Point and Click, Verb Coin and maybe more. And by unique mechanics, well they look at innovative gameplay mechanics used in adventures games such as Resonance, Whispers of a

See, they’re both actually quite different and it’s not even- it’s not subtle.

Quest For Story: The Role of an Adventure Game’s Plot

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2023/11/07

This week Anna & Paul are doing words at you while under the direction of "talk about plots" and "make them good words". They are looking at adventure games with complex plots and adventure games with thin, straightforward plots and examining when one is better than the other and asking the question: how much does the plot of the story even matter, in adventure games? After all, it is rarely the main topic of conversation surrounding an adventure game, so why is that? Also, this episode is

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2023/10/24

This week Paul is joined by special guest Adventure Game Geek and they are going through their favorite scary, spooky and suspenseful adventure games! Sure it kind of devolved into ranking games from 0 to "has a pumpkin in it" and sure, what was supposed to be a list of scary games turned into more "well, at some point it's dark and raining, so that counts" but it's a fun time regardless.

Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity

The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast ·

2023/09/26

This week Anna & Paul are taking you through a point and click adventure game that is often referred to as "surprisingly really good". What game is that? The one that's the title of the episode omg it's so long, don't make me type it out again. FINE, Beavis and Butthead in Virtual Stupidity. Okay I actually copied and pasted it, that wasn't so bad/sorry for yelling. Basically they attempt to give you a solid second hand experience with the game, essentially playing it for you.
