Spearheading the revival of adventure games, Broken Age Act 1 was released last week on Steam for the Kickstarter backers (and press reviewers).

A decision to black out reviews until later in January was reversed only a couple of days after the game came out. Broken Age is just that good.

Even though we haven't finished it (as of recording this episode), we wholeheartedly agree that it will become an instant classic.

Sean and Vinnk talk about what killed the adventure game for our generation, revel in its revival thanks to companies like TellTale and Doublefine, and crowdsourcing for an explosion of indie games on websites like Kickstarter. We can't agree on just what an adventure game is, exactly, but that's part of the fun, right?

Sean (in person) and Vinnk (via Skype) crash the ball pit of the No Mercy Room at No Brand Con to answer your burning questions, and meet up with old college friends. Maybe more of the latter.

What do Excitebike, Mach Rider, Wrecking Crew, and Castle Excellent (A.K.A. Castlequest) have in common? They are the only games to support the Famicom Data Recorder peripheral. Oh, and they don't have batteries in them. Really.

Sean is gone this week, but Vinnk found someone even better to step in and talk video games: his wife!

Vinnk and Misako discuss her gamer past, and -- in a stunning reversal of what usually happens on Famicom Dojo -- Vinnk explains the Nintendo Entertainment System and North American gaming to someone who grew up only knowing the Famicom.

It may be difficult to explain, because Game Boy wasn't the best from a technical standpoint, and not all of the games were the best, but somehow the Game Boy was just the best.

Sean and Vinnk fondly remember 25 years of handheld gaming with Nintendo's little gray dot matrix box that could. For Future Retro Vinnk shares his stories of Quarth, and Sean jumps to the iOS ship to talk about Framed.

It's a common enough game collector's problem: buying variations that are not different at all except packaging. But Vinnk wants to solve the mystery of Flopon for 3DO.
