This Week Anna & Paul are combing through the Yearbook from Point 'n Click High, and deciding things like: Who had the best hair? Who's the class clown? Who has the most punchable face? Who had the best death animation?  It kinda starts as more Yearbook trope kinda questions and then transforms into general award-show style questions but it's a good time, you'll see, you'll all see.

Retro Asylum is widely regarded as one of the top gaming podcasts in the world, so we wanted to find out the secret to their success and why they've taken on the challenge of playing through and reviewing every single Evercade cart, on top of the rest of their output. So, Jim Middleton and Chris Worthington were kind enough to share their views and experiences covering the space, why they love Evercade, and whether it's OK to play emulation-based devices.

This week Anna & Paul are talking—wait, is that a good name for the episode? I was kinda thinking "Pixels and Personas" but that sounded kinda vague, but maybe it's more mysterious which I think you want for catchy episode titles. Whatever. This week they're talking about Archetypes—first they lay out the different archetypes using pop-culture and words, then they assign the most iconic adventure game characters atheir fitting archetype. It's a little different but a lotta fun, mangia!   Play our adventure game! The Phantom Fellows is out now!

Liebe Fans von „Day of the Tentacle“, „Monkey Island“ oder „Sam & Max - Hit the Road“: Schaut ehrfurchtsvoll auf eure verstaubten 90er-Jahre Spiele, streichelt euren alten Amiga 500 oder den Vobis Highscreen - Natürlich nur im Design von Luigi Colani! Und ertragt mit Fassung dieses Computer-Abenteuer. „Eine Crimebusterfolge, wie von der KI geschrieben…“ (Shareware Schwind). „Ganz so schlimm ist es nicht…“ (Floppy-Disk Fröhlich). Bei der Besprechung zu „Die drei ??? – Angriff der Computer-Viren“ wird das Mini-Rätsel auf dem letzten analog gezeichneten Aiga Rasch Cover gelöst und Fatshaming im Sekundentakt entdeckt – Auch wenn dies schon fast romantisch klingt: „Das schwammige, schweißnasse Gesicht glänzt im Mondlicht.“ Der Bösewicht ist der mit dem roten Parker (bitte nicht verwechseln: Es nicht die mit dem roten Halsband!) und ein cleveres Mädchen ist lieber eine „dumme Nuss“. Welche Katastrophe improvisiert Andreas? Was steht im Originalmanuskript auf Seite neun? Und warum lehnt „Wetten, dass..?“ Justus, Peter und Bob ab? In diesem Bobcast gibt es ein Sportfreunde Stiller Fan-Hörspiel zu „Die drei ???“ und Andreas spendiert euch eine Extra-Runde „Ja, ja, ja!“ Dann wären da noch der Saturn, eine Seife und eine Badewanne. Aber… das hat früher schon niemand verstanden und das bleibt auch heute so. Schnell noch diese Folge Raubkopieren und los geht´s.

This week Anna & Paul are talking about non-adventure games, for some reason. Oh, Paul was supposed to say, for his first pick, "Astro Chicken" and he formally regrets forgetting this very so-so joke. See cos, that's in an adventure game and so it represents his hesitation to embrace anything outside of the adventure genre.  I'm glad I explained it, it's for sure funnier now. Mangia!   The Phantom Fellows Pin/Magnet by CanvasQuest!   Mac OS9 Emulator (Mac) Mac OS9 Emulator (PC)  Mac System Seven Emulator (Mac) Mac System Seven Emulator (PC)   Play our adventure game!

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin a new series on 1997's Interstate '76.

Inspired by classics like Myst, Monkey Island, and Zork, RYFT offers a unique experience where players navigate and interact entirely through voice commands.Game Overview:Setting: Players find themselves in Nexus Manor, a mysterious mansion beyond time, with no recollection of how they got there. Armed with a cryptic stone tablet covered in strange symbols, they must explore the estate to unravel its secrets.Gameplay: This fully audio-driven game allows players to:Move using voice commands such as “north,” “east,” “south,” and “west.”Verbally interact with objects and characters.Solve intricate puzzles by collecting and combining items.Engage with a fully voiced cast, each tied to The Master of the manor.Narrative: As they progress, players uncover recordings from a distressed girl, revealing a sinister scheme orchestrated by The Master. To aid her, they must navigate the sprawling mansion and uncover its hidden truths across time.Tune in to the podcast for a full demonstration of RYFT: A Timely Manor!RYFT: A Timely Manor on the App Store https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ryft-a-timely-manor/id1661569093TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by Aiko, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Hello and welcome.My name is Thomas Domville, also known as AnonyMouse.In this podcast, I'm going to be covering an iOS game called Rift.It's the first chapter called A Timely Manor.It is a free game, which I think all of us could say we love, and it's kind of compelling.It's kind of a lot of fun.There's some similarities to this to previous games I've done in the past years or so, and I thought I'd just pass this game along to you.It is an audio based adventure game.So it's kind of a voice control type game.So it reminds me a lot of the older text adventure games where you are put in a room or whatever not be.For example, in our first scenario, we're left in a room that has a desk and a coat stand and stuff like that.And you'll see that we just completely use our voice alone.Now, as a bonus, I will show you is not all has to be done by voice.So for those that prefer just using the regular old screen, or if you have a braille display, that might be something that you want to take a look at as well.So check on the availability of if that or this game is available to you in your country app store.So without further ado, let's jump into Rift.Now the first thing I want to note out is that as always voiceover sometimes kind of butchered the words.And you're going to hear it pronounced it as right.It seems like no matter which voice I use, it says right.And that's because the spelling…

Arrancamos nuestra TEMPORADA VEINTITRÉS, con el primer programa de 2025, y único del mes de enero... pero está bien, pero bien nutrido. Bah, gordito, como Mael, Eze, y MaGnUs, los tres gordos comic que se juntan para hacer la RE: seña (y Orígenes Secretos) de los comics originales de Creature Commandos. Este grupo, creado por JM DeMatteis, Pat Broderick, y otros; con el grueso de historias escritas por Bob Kanigher y dibujadas por Fred Carrillo, fue publicado entre 1980 y 1983 en Weird War Tales, antología de DC Comics. Después, la adaptación muy libre de James "Pistolita" Gunn a serie animada de los Creature Commandos, puntapie inicial del nuevo DCU audiovisual. En ambos, queda claro que los nazis son malos, y eso nos gusta. Después, MaGnUs y Eze reseñan la tercera y última temporada de What If...?, la que fuera la primera serie animada de Marvel Studios, explorando el multiverso de los superhéroes en Disney+. Y también de Disney+, nuestros dos co-conductores reseñan Skeleton Crew, la más reciente entrega de las serie de TV del universo Star Wars, con una aventura para toda la familia y protagonizada por niños, inspirada en clásicos como The Goonies, Monkey Island, y La Isla del Tesoro. Con música de Elliot Maginot, Fanfare CiocarliavLos Fabulosos Cadillacs, Vicki Balfour (interpretando a Laura Karpman), Mick Giacchino, "Youngee Wim" (Leland Chee, David W. Collins, y Matthew Wood, versionando a Peter Schilling), y TV on the Radio. Escuchalo en tu plataforma de podcasts favorita, primero lo subimos a Ivoox: Próximo programa: Cobra Kai (T5) / Star Trek: Section 31.

So I ran a PC only Patreon Poll, and The Secret of Monkey Island took it down. I have to be honest, point & click games aren't my jam. But this one is so damned charming it almost makes up for that. I can't imagine there's too many people listening to this show that don't know point & click games. Select commands like "open", "pick up", "use", and combine them with items on the screen to solve puzzles. I think some of the puzzles in Monkey Island a little tedious, but even with one eye I can see how people love this game. It really is funny, and the humour and clever writing offset the occasional frustration I experienced while trying to kill pirates with root beer. One good monkey deserves another, so my guest this week is my buddy Daniel (Stpd_Mnky). He likes this game more than I do, and while we made not have felt the same way about the sword fighting system or how to make a soup or whatever the fuck it is with the cereal, we had a good time laughing at some of the dialogue and puzzles. And we're still not sure what the secret of said island is... And before we point and click, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, we HAD to talk about the Switch 2. How do those of us that dislike multiplayer games get into them? And I love Bioshock, but how do I feel about the sequels?? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PC classics: King's Quest VI, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam and Max. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Paul Zimmermann ist waschechter Komponist und schrieb schon für einige Spiele hübsche Soundtracks. Sein neuster Wurf ist nun zufälligerweise die Musik für eines der Lieblingsspiele 2024 von Gastgeber Dom Schott: Loco Motive, ein Point'n'Click-Adventure mit wahnsinnig viel Witz, Charme - und ja, einem fantastischen Soundtrack, der sich irgendwo zwischen Jazz, Film Noir und Monkey Island bewegt. Logisch also, dass Paul Zimmermann eine gold umrahmte Einladung zum Gespräch bei OK COOL erhielt! In der ersten Hälfte dieser Unterhaltung erzählt Paul Zimmermann von seiner Arbeit an dem hochgelobten Adventure-Soundtrack, welche besonderen Probleme er lösen musste und wie er sich zu den insgesamt 47 Stücken inspirieren ließ. In der zweiten Hälfte des Gesprächs geht es dann um die Arbeitsbedingungen als Komponist, wie gut man damit seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen kann - und wie schwer es ist, als Musiker in der Spielebranche eine Wohnung zu finden.

This living legend has played roles in titles such as Oxenfree, Return to Monkey Island, Wayfinder, and Telltales Walking Dead series as the absolute legend that is KENNY!Here we talked about some old games, some good games and one that was destined for the fire. Although it wasn't Destiny, Gavin quite enjoyed that game.So tune in and let this absolute gent guide you through some of his own gaming ups and downs.PS. A little side note that I felt I had to add as it says a lot about the human that is Gavin Hammon. After recording we chatted for a while and I mentioned that Kenny was my daughter's all-time favourite gaming character. A few moments after we ended the call a message landed on my phone. A message for my daughter from Kenny (Okay, it was Gavin playing Kenny, but you know). It made her year, and was just a magical thing for him to do. Let us know where we're going wrong....or, like, right...maybe.Support the showFollow the adventure, support the show, listen with both ears - https://linktr.ee/DesertIslandGamer

¿Cómo se relacionan un jugo de culo con andar con las luces apagadas en el auto? El Ep528 de Café Fandango tiene la respuesta a esa pregunta y muchas más. Esta semana Edu vuelve de viaje cansado y con una tarea abrumadora: tomar un contraste durante el programa.

Con aproximadamente mil lanzamientos, entramos a las noticias con un nuevo Monkey Island no oficial, los juegos de PS Plus de noviembre, el mayor logro personal de Elon Musk, y juegos que se van y vienen a Xbox sorpresivamente.

La storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island entra nel vivo nella seconda puntata. Con un Ron Gilbert in piena crisi creativa, a dargli una spinta nella giusta direzione ci pensano una pausa forzata per occuparsi di tutt'altro e un libro dal titolo Mari Stregati. Forte di un protagonista e di un antagonista che finalmente funzionano, Ron ha solo bisogno di una vera squadra di sceneggiatori per partire. Nascono così gli "scummlets", le nuove reclute destinate a imparare a programmare con uno SCUMM sempre più snello e completo. Tim Schafer e Dave Grossman, all'epoca ventenni e senza nessuna esperienza lavorativa, si presentano allo Skywalker Ranch come una scolaresca in visita, e ben presto si trovano catapultati nell'assurdo mondo di pirateria e nonsense partorito dalla mente di Ron. Da qui è tutto un susseguirsi di inaspettate intuizioni e colpi di genio, mentre al Ranch arriva anche un certo Michael Land, pronto a mettere la sua esperienza di compositore al servizio dei temi caraibici richiesti da Ron. E proprio quando le cose sembrano andare per il meglio, LucasFilm Games si trasforma velocemente in LucasArts, e tutto cambia. Tutto questo e molto altro nella seconda e ultima puntata della storia dello sviluppo di The Secret of Monkey Island.

I veckans avsnitt har Glenn spelat ett dåligt spel, Anna har spelat ett bra spel och Linus har varit på konferens. Så det blir en podd med variation! Det pratas King Kong och Monkey Island och även saker som inte har med apor att göra. Glenn har lärt sig något nytt, Linus tror han har lärt sig något nytt men har fel och Anna är bara helt otroligt följsam.

The Secret of Monkey Island, one of the best loved video games of the point-and-click era, was released on the 15th October, 1990, without, it must be said, a great deal of fanfare. Inspired by the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland and the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, the game was a swashbuckling piratical adventure which – unusually for gaming of the time – put laughs above thrills. Despite its initially mixed reaction, it went on to become a sleeper hit that a generation of gamers took to their hearts. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly investigate why George Lucas wasn't putting his new video games division to work publishing loads of Star Wars games; explain why it was important to Monkey Island's creators that their main character couldn't die; and find out whether the jokes Olly found hilarious as a ten-year-old are still as side-splittingly funny today… Further Reading: • ‘The Complete History Of Monkey Island' (Time Extension, 2022): https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-complete-history-of-monkey-island • ‘What Is The Secret Of Monkey Island?'

Fall is in the air.......this is definitely true here in South Carolina as shrimp baiting season has begun on September 13th. This is a tradition that most watermen live for every fall. The ability to go out and to fill a cooler with some tasty lowcountry delicacies and to actually be in control of harvesting them. It can be a bit overwhelming to someone that is new to the technique and we cover all the ways to have success while helping you straighten that learning curve. Our panel this week is made up of some of the guys from Trilogy Outdoors Radio. Capt Fred, Capt. Chris, and Tony the Bassmaster join Capt. E to go over all the steps at getting out on the water to cast those nets on the bait balls and will a cooler up. Firstly, we are joined by Capt. Jason Burton of Murrells Inlet Fishing Chartersas well as Capt Chris Regan of Carolina Hook and Fly Outfitters. These two were recently fishing an event on The Southern Redfish Cup down in the Beaurfort, S.C. area, They were both unaware of Morgan(Monkey) Island that is located in the barrier islands along the coastal region of Beaufort. This island has a colony of free-ranging Rhesus monkeys that were placed there in the 70's and now contain over 4000 in the colony. There are many that are not aware of this island and it's inhabitants, just as Capt. Chris and Capt. Jason. You can imagine the surprise and the stories that this produces when they start shaking trees and running to the beach to say hello or to warn you.
