Podcasts about Monkey Island

Daniel und Hardy blättern durch das Joker-Verlag-Sonderheft über die besten Adventure-Spiele. Neben Point-&-Click-Adventures wie Monkey Island, Larry oder Indiana Jones behandelt das Heft auch Text-Adventures wie Die Kathedrale und Hexuma.Für Daniel war dieses Sonderheft ein wichtiger Eckpfeiler seiner Jugend, zu dem er regelmäßig zurückkehrte und sich darin über eines seiner liebsten Genres informierte, für Hardy war die Vorbereitung zu dieser Aufnahme der Erstkontakt zu dieser Ausgabe.Besonderen Spaß machen unsere Durchgeblättert-Episoden, wenn ihr das passende Heft zur Hand habt. Ihr findet dieses Adventure-Sonderheft zum kostenfreien Download auf Kultmags oder HIER.Sprecher: Daniel Cloutier und Hardy Heßdörfer

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our series on Ultima IV. We talk about the boat, we talk about dungeons (a tiny bit), we deep dive into NPCs and consequences, we talk about the quests and how everything is in the world, and answer some listener email. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: More of Ultima IV (Much more, in B's case) Issues covered: revisiting locations and finding new things, a game that does a lot with a little, everything existing in the world, getting to know the world, NPCs sharing sprites and being hard to remember, getting a ship and fighting your way on, broadside combat, dying to a waterspout, wanting to search the oceans, badly simulating tacking, riding a horse, being interrupted in any location, trying to replicate the tabletop experience, feeling like a "yes" game, whether what you do matters, can you be a thief, watering down a morality system, having a limited palette of options at any one time, layering frosting, taking out the friction and icky feeling, the niche audience of some RPGs, taking elements from older games and bringing them into modern games, asking questions of the player who is also the character, avoiding the uncanny valley, an aside into adventure mode, the horseshoe effect on NPCs, reaching the limits of what the human brain can contemplate, an aside into Dunbar's number, facing the same challenges, chunking chapters, feeling the anxiety of there being too much, coalescing your notes from time to time, the telescope moment and seeing the map, the lack of loot, preparing to do things, validating your assumptions, having to revisit everywhere, the friction of Pikmin, getting good controllers, handheld mode, the Wavebird, bouncing off character creation, character creation we've liked, wanting a story to wrap around a more specific character, the generic hero, having fun with a character creator, a freeing character creator. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Final Fantasy (series), Gold Box (series), Eye of the Beholder, Outer Wilds, The Witcher (series), Beowulf, Dungeons & Dragons, Wizardry (series), BioWare, Mass Effect, BioShock, Dishonored, CD Project Red, Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate III, Thief, Robin Hood, VtM Bloodlines, Undertale, Dark Souls, Land of the Lost, Dwarf Fortress, Planescape: Torment, Metroid / Castlevania, Richard Garriott, Sasha, Pikmin, Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto, Switch, PlayStation, Analog Pocket, Ashton Herrmann, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, Morrowind, Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins, Bethesda Game Studios, Blizzard, World of Warcraft, Diablo (series), Metal Gear Solid V, Hideo Kojima, Saint's Row IV, Call of Cthulhu, Asher, Cuphead, KyleAndError, Hitman, FFSZilla, MGS: VR Missions, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Note: Because Ultima IV has very little music to speak of, I will be substituting music from later in the series in the openings to these episodes TTDS: 38:30 Links: Majuular Ultima IV video recommended by Chris  Next time: Finish Ultima IV Twitch: timlongojr and twinsunscorp YouTube Discord  DevGameClub@gmail.com

🎮 Rejugando | Aquellos Maravillosos Años: 1997 y 2005 Invitado: Vijuda (Super Woden GP / Super Woden Rally Edge) En este programa de Rejugando, videojuegos desde todos los ángulos, viajamos a dos años clave en la vida de Vijuda (Víctor Justo da Cruz): 1997 y 2005, repasando cómo esos momentos marcaron su forma de entender los videojuegos… y cómo todo eso desemboca en Super Woden Rally Edge, su último y exitoso lanzamiento. 🕹️ 1997: cuando un juego te cambia para siempre 1997 es el año en el que Vijuda descubre Final Fantasy VII, su primer JRPG, y el título que le hace entender que un videojuego puede atraparte por su historia, no solo por la acción. Primer contacto real con la narrativa en videojuegos El salto brutal de NES a PlayStation Descubrimiento del valor de los mundos, personajes y emociones Inicio de una obsesión por Square / Squaresoft y los JRPG clásicos Además, se repasa un 1997 legendario en la historia del videojuego: Final Fantasy VII, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, GTA, Carmageddon, Star Fox 64, Monkey Island, Quake II, Turok… Un año irrepetible que definió una generación. 🏎️ De jugador a creador: coches, arcade y personalidad Aunque el JRPG marca su sensibilidad, Vijuda siempre ha tenido claro su amor por los juegos de conducción: Su primer videojuego fue Rad Racer (curiosamente de Squaresoft) Fascinación por los recreativos y la conducción arcade Rechazo al “macarreo” tipo Need for Speed: respeto por el coche y la conducción Todo eso acaba cristalizando años después en la saga Super Woden, heredera directa de los arcades clásicos… pero con identidad propia. 🎵 Música, punk rock y Woden Tocaba en un grupo de punk rock llamado Woden Muchas canciones del grupo acabaron reconvertidas en la música de sus juegos El nombre Woden se mantiene como homenaje personal y emocional La música no es un añadido: es parte del ADN de sus juegos. 🏁 Super Woden Rally Edge: éxito, miedo y superación Apenas 10 días después del lanzamiento, Super Woden Rally Edge iguala en reseñas a Super Woden GP2… que llevaba años publicado. Miedo real al lanzamiento (algo que nunca desaparece) Cambio arriesgado: abandonar circuitos y centrarse en rallies Inspiraciones como Art of Rally, pero manteniendo su estilo arcade Éxito inesperado en mercados como Estados Unidos y Japón Vijuda explica cómo el cambio de cámara y enfoque ha permitido: Mantener a su público habitual Atraer jugadores más jóvenes Ampliar el alcance del juego Un desarrollador indie… completamente solo Aprendió a programar de forma autodidacta Hace diseño, programación, parte del arte y música La soledad del desarrollo independiente pasa factura Dificultades para gestionar comunidades, toxicidad y exposición pública Easter eggs, obsesión por el detalle y no saber parar Todos sus juegos están llenos de secretos y guiños ocultos Algunos tan escondidos que ni los jugadores los encuentran Reconoce la dificultad de saber cuándo cerrar un proyecto El perfeccionismo casi le hace rehacer Rally Edge entero Un programa honesto, profundo y muy humano, donde entendemos cómo los videojuegos que jugamos de jóvenes acaban definiendo los juegos que creamos de adultos. 1997 explica al jugador. 2005 explica al creador. Y Super Woden, GP y Rally Edge es la suma de todo eso.

En este capítulo dentro de la historia del arte relacionado con los videojuegos, nos centramos en LucasArts, compañía nacida en retroalimentación con otros proyectos culturales de George Lucas. Su relevancia fue inmensa, especialmente en la década de los 80 y 90 con obras maestras como "The Secret of Monkey Island", "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis", "X-Wing" o "Grim Fandango" entre muchas otras.

Composer Ken Allen shaped the soundscape of an entire Sierra era, from Space Quest to Kings Quest, and that unmistakable Sierra logo fanfare burned into every retro-gamer's brain. Now he's back with a full new soundtrack for SpaceVenture, and we go deep into how it all came together. In this episode, Ken walks through the craft behind his new score, the evolution from MT-32 to modern orchestral libraries, the stories behind iconic Sierra tracks, the surprising inspirations for SpaceVenture's music, and what it's like to reunite with the Two Guys from Andromeda after decades. Expect anecdotes, technical insight, nostalgia, and plenty of behind-the-scenes lore from one of the genre's defining composers. Mangia! Some corrections. - Beats Per Minute (not beats per second - that wouldbe crazy). - Composer for Silent Running was Peter Schickle, not Jerry Goldsmith. - Kazoo Orchestra is on the 2001 Theme and synth was used Blue Danube.

Toman su nombre de uno de los insultos más populares del videojuego Monkey Island, y eso ya dice mucho de la esencia que caracteriza al dúo que forman Julio y Jorge. Publicaron su primera canción en 2020, en plena pandemia, y el proyecto ha ido creciendo sin prisa pero sin pausa hasta desembocar en su primer LP en este 2025, “Ocho canciones para mandarte a la mierda”. Un manual en 8 capítulos para decirle adiós a todos aquellos que nos hacen mal, pero siempre con humor, ironía, sarcasmo y sin dejar de bailar. Musicalmente, el disco es un cóctel nostálgico y descarado que recorre los 80 y 90 con ecos de eurodance, techno, nu-disco, indie-pop electrónico, house y electrónica oscura.Escuchar audio

We're talking about our favorite microtropes in romance novels--the things that give us pure shots of joy.

This week Anna and Paul played Quest For Glory 2: Trial By Fire and as per the rules of podcasting, they're going to talk into microphones, at you, for quite some time—largely staying on topic while occasionally wandering into a narrative side quest, as to create a more layered listening experience for you, the listener.

El secreto del dinero es que es más fácil ganarlo cuando dejas de buscarlo. Los proyectos, para que funcionen, tienen que ser desinteresados. Héctor compartía fotografías de sus paseos por Tokio en Kirainet. Javi le pidió a la IA un vídeo de sus vacaciones.

The Witching Hour is upon us in this Halloween special, it's time to pull up a rickety, mouldy stool at the near-empty pub, the Brush, Nose and Bone. In this episode, we're joined by a master of horror, Keith Dozois of USB Escape to discuss all things horror in escape rooms. How does horror affect puzzles? What are our best (and worst) experiences with horror? And how do you make horror good in an escape room? As always, here are your recommendations for this month. Jamie - Ice Nine Kills (band), a metalcore whose recent output has been centred around iconic horror films, and was a big inspiration for Jamie's episode this arc. Mairi - Strange Jigsaws (game by fleb), a short digital puzzle game about solving 50 or so rather strange jigsaws. The prequel (20 Small Mazes) is free, if you want to see what sort of thing you're getting yourself into. Jon - Never Let Me Go (novel by Kazuo Ishiguro), a slow gentle book about a trio of young folks in the British countryside but they attend a very unusual school and are on an unusual life trajectory. Keith - Scarlet Envelope for their fantastic puzzle games (yay), and Curios' Albrecht Manor Letters, an epistolary horror experience through writing letters. Two fantastic Canada-based game creators.

Safely returned from their doorless room, with a hairbrush in hand, the team are left with only one VHS tape, adorned with images of graves. It sends them to a London Garden Park, with a curious statue guarding the gate, it's amazing what they call Art these days...

Anna hits the floor at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, or as she and her late friend Roberta always called it, the PGRE. It's a weekend overflowing with nostalgia, laughter, and the kind of serendipity that only happens when you pack decades of gaming history under one roof. This episode brings you the voices and moments that defined the show: Al Lowe sharing stories from his Sierra days, Lori and Corey Cole reminiscing about Quest for Glory, George Sanger talking music and memory, and dozens of creators, collectors, and fans who keep the golden age of adventure games alive. From the FMV Museum and the Error 47 concert to spontaneous hallway interviews and late-night reflections, this is a trip through time and community. Whether you were there in person or living vicariously through your headphones, you'll feel the hum of the crowd, the passion of the fans, and the unmistakable presence of Roberta woven throughout it all. Press play, step onto the show floor, and let the stories roll.

After missing their one-flight-a-day from the Australian desert, the gang decide to shelter for the night in an abandoned shack deep in the outback. Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes. Last week the team tried to play a VHS tape and were transported to a sinister sewer to face a laughing clown, this week they find themselves stood in a room with no windows or doors, lit only by the pale glow of a television showing static. Until it doesn't. With 999 possible channels for the team to uncover, this won't be an easy task.

After missing their one-flight-a-day from the Australian desert, the gang decide to shelter for the night in an abandoned shack deep in the outback. Inside they find a VHS player, and three tapes. But this is no ordinary VHS player, as the moment the tape goes in the world shimmers in static and we find ourselves transported to... A sewer. There's distant crying coming from the darkness and a creepy red balloon hovering in the air. But there's no time for clowning around when there's a puzzle to solve. If you're playing along with the puzzle, check out this visual asset when Jon finds the compass.

This time around we talk about Lost in Adventure: The Labyrinth.  It's a light point-and-click style adventure that will feel familiar to folks that played Cantaloop or video games like Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island and all those old games.  This game feels like those but quite a bit lighter.

With just twenty two minutes and thirty seconds remaining before our flight from Australia Airport leaves, the team have no choice but to solve Jon's puzzle puzzle at the crossroads. Somewhere off Australia Road (which by the way, is the road in Australia, in case you were wondering), the airport awaits... But which way? "Struth Ruth, Bruce is coming babe."

With the team's outback getaway driver KO-ed outside the toilet, the team find themselves stranded in the outback, 45 minutes before their flight from "Australia Airport" leaves. Time is of the essence, and in this special the solvers will have a shared 45-minutes to solve across both parts of the Outback Odyssey arc. But before they can get back on the road they'll have to get through dozens and dozens of gnomes... in various state of undress (Jamie's exact words, not mine). Somewhere among these gnomes the key to escape lies. It's time to lock in and- "Gnome more Mr. Nice Guy".

This is the final week of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. This episode initially aired a little later than normal due to some technical gremlins, which meant it didn't get a fair shake before the following week's episode came in and pushed it out of the feed (people love that fresh content, yo). And it's a particularly fiendish puzzle from Mike that also uses a hefty amount of learning theory. Mike pulled a sneaky on us and had us doing a team building exercise (le gasp!). The original recording was 2 hours long. So as a special treat, here's a re-edited version along with the puzzle debrief and additional commentary from me (Jamie). Grab a glass of warm urine and join us as we attempt to escape the desert with a surprisingly Northern sounding Bear Grylls. Will we select the correct five items to enable our escape? And what's with that Morse Code, anyway? Special thanks to Patreon supporters Rachel, Howlfin and Will for making this episode possible.

This week Anna and Paul are reunited and they kick things off with some story time about where Paul has been, thennn they get into the 1991 Jim Wall's adventure "Blue Force". It's one of those games a lot of us flagged as "one day I'll play that" knowing very well that day will never come, so press play and let them walk you through it instead.

This is the start of our two-week summer break, where we recharge our puzzle batteries. But we won't leave you empty handed - here's a director's cut edition of a classic episode with new editing, music, SFX and commentary. Sometimes, an episode as such an impact on us that we talk about it months or even years later. Groundfarce is one of those episodes. What started out as a simple spatial puzzle quickly devolved into a mud slinging match with zingers such as "Left isn't a cardinal direction!" and "I've left the shed and my eyes appear to have stopped working". We cut a fair amount from the episode in the original airing because things got a little heated. But as a special treat, here's the whole thing with additional commentary from me (Jamie).

This three-part BONUS episode honors our friend Roberta Vaughan and celebrates the upcoming live debut of Error 47—a tribute band performing all together for the first time this fall. Part One features Jackie, Sarah, Jon Paul, Erik, and Mick, some of the members of the band, as they reflect on Roberta's legacy, how the project came together, and what it's like preparing for a live show as a group of longtime friends, collaborators, and fans. This is the first time they'll share a stage as one lineup. Part Two brings in producer Sean Parker and Error 47 member Troels Pleimert, along with a return from Mick. This half dives deep into the creative and logistical work behind the Kickstarter campaign, the emotion of translating a digital legacy into a live experience, and how the band's shared love of FMV and community drives the whole effort. Part Three closes with a personal segment featuring Roberta's sibling, Ames, who shares their perspective on the concert, the campaign, and the legacy their sister leaves behind. This episode spans memories, music, and momentum, celebrating the past while building something new in Roberta's name.

This week on the Classic Gamers Guild Podcast, we step into the afterlife, but not the peaceful kind. Anna, one half of the CGG Podcast, sits down with Rubén López, one half of Aruma Studios, to talk about their upcoming point-and-click adventure Shadows of the Afterland. If their debut Intruder in Antiquonia was about memory and resisting modernity, this one's about being dead before you're even born, and trying to change your destiny. Rubén pulls back the curtain on designing a supernatural murder mystery set in 1960s Madrid, building an afterlife where bureaucracy still reigns, and giving players control of so many unique characters through a tactical possession mechanic. We dig into how Galician folklore seeps into the game's design, what it takes to rebuild an entire custom engine from scratch, and why full voice acting is now part of the plan. From puzzle design philosophy to the realities of running a two-person studio, this conversation is a deep dive into ambitious indie development, ghostly storytelling, and the fine art of making possession both strategic and fun. Plus, hear about the game's brand-new demo update, massive performance boosts, and plans for release on PC and Nintendo Switch. Play our adventure game! The Phantom Fellows is out now!

In this episode of Bleezy Listening, we rewind from November 2024 to July 2025 to unpack nine months of chaos, cover-ups, and controversy. From the mass monkey escapes at a South Carolina research facility and the targeted killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO, to Trump's second-term shake-ups, Southern California wildfires, and a wave of deadly incidents sparking “false flag” accusations, it's been a year of headlines that don't add up. We dig into the EPA's official chemtrail denial, Epstein case stonewalling, and even a defamation clash between French President Emmanuel Macron and Candace Owens. Strap in — this is the news they hope you've already forgotten.

This week, Anna runs a solo mission straight into the fog, Fogtown, that is. She's joined by Sean Parker, the puppet-wrangling, genre-bending mastermind behind Fogtown, the only detective story brave enough to ask: what if a puppet version of Sherlock Holmes had imposter syndrome, a spatula sword, and a head that occasionally falls off? We talk about how the pandemic turned a scrappy puppet TV show idea into a fully modular FMV game with real performances, rotating virtual sets, and actors from Phantasmagoria, Disco Elysium, and Contradiction. Sean spills the tea on a mystery publisher who ghosted harder than a Tinder date, how to keep a puppet's head attached during a fight scene, and why FMV deserves a weirder, brighter comeback. Plus: a tribute to the irreplaceable Roberta Vaughan, who championed lovely indie projects like Fogtown long before the rest of us caught on. Wishlist A Rum Case In Fogtown!

This week Paul played Sierra's black sheep, what some call the rite, or maybe right, of passage for the clinically obsessed adventure gamer... it's Codename: Iceman. He's gonna walk you through it so you don't have to play it, while switching vehemently between 'you should play it' and 'you absolutely should not'- it's quite a rollercoster of confused emotions and misguided angst. Honestly, I think he... I think he actually had FUN?!    Also Anna is sick, please bombard her with messages about drinking more water. Mangia!   Iceman Save Game Files    Play our adventure game!

Point&Click war Ende der 80er und auch in den 90er-Jahren ein überaus beliebtes Genre. Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Indiana Jones und Baphomets Fluch kannten damals beinahe alle Gamer. Mittlerweile kommen solche Spiele eher selten auf den Markt und der große Erfolg bleibt aus. Woran das liegt und warum es doch immer wieder Titel in die Herzen der Fans schaffen, besprechen wir in Folge 176 des PC Games Podcast.Moderator Michi Grünwald hat neben Redakteur Felix Schütz noch Tom Stossno eingeladen. Der Spieldesigner arbeitet für das Entwicklerstudio Radio Silence Studios und möchte gemeinsam mit seinem Team im Dezember das Point&Click-Abenteuer The Adventures of Bryan Scott veröffentlichen. Tom erzählt uns in der aktuellen Podcast-Ausgabe mehr über die Herausforderungen während der Entwicklung und warum ein Spendenaufruf von euch da draußen das Spiel noch besser machen kann.Mit bekannten deutschen Sprechern könnte das handgezeichnete Adventure nämlich auch im deutschen Markt noch mehr einschlagen, schließlich ist das Point&Click-Genre hierzulande deutlich populärer als anderswo. Lasst uns in den Kommentaren gerne wissen, welches Oldschool-Abenteuer euch am besten gefällt? Wir wünschen euch viel Spaß beim Anhören des Podcasts!Der PC Games Podcast - der offizielle Videospielpodcast der PC Games - erscheint seit über einem Jahrzehnt regelmäßig und liefert dabei wöchentlich gleich mehrere Talks zum riesigen Thema Videospiele.Unser Moderationsteam, Michi Grünwald und Vivi Ziermann, deckt dabei etliche Bereiche ab: Review-Gespräche und Previews zu brandaktuellen Games, nostalgische Rückblicke, Reports, Interviews und vieles mehr.
