Welcome to a special edition of the Classic Gamers Guild Podcast: The PAX Tapes! Anna spent PAX West 2026 helping Roberta Vaughan’s Retro Adventures bring the FMV Zone museum to life and catching up with the people who make games and gaming history so memorable. From Sierra legends to today’s creators, here are the conversations she recorded along the way.

This week Anna and Paul played Space Quest: Vohaul Strikes Back and spoiler, they both fell in love with it. So they brought on one of its developers, Frederik Olsen, to dig into the making of it—all while walking you through the game itself. It's a good time, MANGIA!

Download & Play Vohaul Strikes Back! (We recommend playing it in ScummVM)

This week Anna and Paul played Beneath a Steel Sky for the first time and they had a LOT to say. This one is pretty thorough. At some point the amount of data in human sperm comes up, and that's when it also becomes educational. MANGIA!

This week Anna and Paul are discussing Adventure Game Houses! Well, twenty of them anyway, there's a crazy amount of houses in adventure games if you start looking into it. They also try to define what a house in an adventure game is and they learn a little about themselves along the way. Also Paul says BDM instead of BDSM, several times, because quote "acronyms are hard". Mangia!
