Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross die repeatedly in their attempt to talk about the MacVenture games (Deja Vu, Uninvited, and Shadowgate).

Hi! Can I ask you a question? Do you like pointing? Do you like clicking? Then you’ll sure love these three games. Before LucasArts, there was the MacVenture series… a group of games that pioneered the graphical point-and-click adventure genre as we know it. This episode is a rapid-fire revue of three of the four games in the series: Deja Vu, Uninvited, and most famously, Shadowgate.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross, despite their lack of fitness, survive long enough to discuss E.V.O.: The Search for Eden.

You have 4.6 billion years to turn from a fish into a human so that you can have sex with the planet Earth. And that’s just the beginning of how weird E.V.O. is, which is probably why so many people hold the game so dear. Has it aged well, or should it be sent back into the primordial ooze?
