    Some of these trial games were longer than modern campaigns. This episode I look at the value that shareware games both during their peak and the lasting influence they’ve had on gaming into today.

  • 50 – X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter: Balance Of Power

    Stay on target. In this episode we look at the famous Star Wars space sim, X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter. I’m open to admitting it’s a game I like, but with a few quirks to deal with. Be careful playing this on Windows 10.

  • 48 – Leisure Suit Larry: Love For Sail

    How was there no porter in this game named Cole? This episode we take a look at the 6th Leisure Suit Larry Game, number 7. This game was a fun tweak on the then standard adventure game formula and the last of the core games designed by Al Lowe, who we talked to last episode.

  • 46 – Comedy In Games Feat: Ryan Sim

    The episode where I bring in a ringer. Join myself and Ryan Sim, comedian and co-host of “The Other Movies” as we talk about the highs and lows of comedy as it’s used in games. I’m also willing to admit that all comedy is subjective and what I find works well, may not hold true for everyone.

  • 45 – Con-version: EGLX 2018 Again

    Didn’t we do this already this year? Well, yes, but thanks to a significant venue change we get to do it again early. Come along on an audio stroll around the EGLX floor as told through my notes over the weekend. There were some great games on display, and given the growth they showed in 8 months, I can’t wait to see what they do with a full 12.
