  • DFR Plays Fish! Podcast Ep05 - Press play on tape!

    This is the fifth episode of our Let's Play Fish! by Magnetic Scrolls podcast experiment!

    In this episode: We survive a close encounter with the Fins! And end up in a plush recording studio, somewhere in London. But will we manage to get the producer sufficiently caffeinated before he fires us and turfs us into the street?? Maybe the secret is on these vintage audio cassettes we found in a bin...

    Most Monday evenings a few of us, friends and family, get together on a Zoom call to play Classic adventure games and we live stream it to YouTube. This is an audio-only edited version of that livestream, which cuts out most of the faffery and hopefully should allow more people to follow along and maybe even catch up so they can join us live and play along with us, making suggestions in the chat!
    The game we're playing currently is Fish!, the fifth game from storied British games studio Magnetic Scrolls. FIsh! was designed by John Molloy, Phil South and Peter Kemp with contributions by Rob Steggles. It was released in 1988 by Rainbird Software and was declared the 16-bit Adventure Game of the Year at that year's Golden Joystick Awards.
    We are playing the original Amiga version, albeit cracked by Quartex, using the WinUAE emulator.
    Several Magnetic Scrolls games have been recently remastered and rereleased by Strand Games and are available on Android, iOS and Windows: ⁠⁠www.strandgames.com⁠


    Please let us know what you think of this episode and the series generally! We'd love to hear from you :)

    In this episode: We do manage to sneak the pew past the hippies, but can't avoid alerting them soon afterwards! We manage to evade them initially and activate the secret Altar, but will we complete the job and return to the Goldfish Bowl with our prize? By Panchax, I hope so...!
