Podcast appearances and mentions of Noah Falstein

Es herrscht im Stay-Forever-Kanon ein leichter Mangel an Besprechungen zu Flugsimulationen, das ist möglicherweise ein bisschen den Vorlieben von Chris und Gunnar geschuldet. Diese Scharte wollten wir auswetzen und haben die Hörer gefragt, welche als Thema gewählt werden soll - und "SWOTL" setzte sich vor Red Baron und Falcon 3.0 durch. Das LucasArts-Spiel ist Teil und Höhepunkt einer inoffiziellen Trilogie von Luftkampfspielen mit Schauplatz Zweiter Weltkrieg, alle entstanden unter der Federführung von Larry Holland. Chris und Gunnar sprechen über das Gameplay und die Entstehung und den geschichtlichen Hintergrund. Unterstützer bekommen noch eine Folge "Wusstet ihr eigentlich ...?

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade war ein ehrgeiziges Projekt von Lucasfilm Games. Es musste in nur sechs Monaten fertiggestellt werden, um rechtzeitig zum Kinostart von Indiana Jones 3 erscheinen zu können. Deshalb wurden mit Noah Falstein, Ron Gilbert und David Fox drei der erfahrensten Gamedesigner für das Projekt zusammengeholt. Herausgekommen ist das bisher erfolgreichste Spiel des Unternehmens. Wenn auch mit einigen Monaten Verspätung. Trotz des Zeitdrucks bietet das Spiel einige spannende Features. Da sind zum Beispiel die auswählbaren Dialogbäume, die es bis dahin bei Lucasfilm Games noch nicht gab. Oder verschiedene Zufallselemente und Lösungswege, die zum wiederholten Spielen motivieren. Da ist das IQ (Indy Quotient)-Punktesystem, das genau anzeigt, wie viel man vom Spiel schon gesehen hat. Und natürlich ist da die Marke Indiana Jones mit dem unverkennbaren Sound. Aus heutiger Sicht wirkt das Spiel an manchen Stellen unrund und sehr zäh. Trotzdem ist Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade ein Klassiker, den man gespielt haben muss. Und wer an einer Stelle zu sehr verzweifelt, kann immer noch im Internet nach einer Lösung suchen. --- Credits Sprecher & Produktion: Wolfgang Schoch, Christian Wald-von der Lahr Musik: DRIFTING KORNERS von https://josephmcdade.com

Un mar interior, una inmensa cúpula de piedra sobre las cabezas de tres heroes, tres aventureros que arriesgan su vida en pos de la ciencia. Un historia que ha enamorado y hecho soñar a niños y mayores durante generaciones. Julio verne nos regalo un sueño de aventura y descubrimiento. Este fue recogido, ampliado y reinterpretado por otros artistas y creadores: Henry Levin, Juan Piquer Simon, Albert Pyun, Eric Brevig, Carlos Arias, Rafael Gomez, Alfonso Fernandez, Tab Murphy, Hal Barwood, Noah Falstein... Y tantos y tantos otros que compartieron ese sueño. En este programa aportamos nuestro humilde granito de arena y repasamos, a nuestro estilo, un buen puñado de obras inspiradas en la obra de Verne. Por supuesto contamos tambien con las secciones habituales y alguna nueva. Con vuestros comentarios y con el eclepticismo musical de costumbre. Si sois capaces de resolver el jeroglífico de Arne Saknussemm, os invitamos a uniros a nosotros en esta aventura.

From the earliest days of hand held electronic games, and arcade hits like Sinistar, through the golden era of Lucasarts adventures to the cutting edge tech of games as therapeutic tools, Noah Falstein was there, pushing boundries and showing the world what gaming really could do.

Im November 2019 führte Gunnar ein Gespräch mit LucasArts-Legende Noah Falstein, einem der ersten zehn Angestellten von LucasFilm Games, der in seiner Zeit dort unter anderem an Spielen wie Koronis Rift, Strike Fleet oder den beiden Indy-Adventures beteiligt war. Es ging um Indiana Jones: The Fate of Atlantis und seine Innenansichten in den Design-Prozess haben unseren Podcast zu dem Thema deutlich bereichert haben – Auszüge aus dem Gespräch waren auch dort zu hören. Falstein ist nun aber ein ausgesprochen interessanter Gesprächspartner und hat viel darüber erzählt, wie es war, damals bei LucasArts zu arbeiten und nimmt uns sozusagen mit auf die Skywalker-Ranch, daher haben wir für euch das komplette Interview aufbereitet. Das Gespräch ist in englischer Sprache. Viel Spaß!

Die LucasArts-Adventures erfreuen sich hierzulande großer Beliebtheit – aber welches ist das Beste? Einer der Kandidaten ist auf jeden Fall Indiana Jones 4, im Original im 1992 als Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis erschienen. Christian und Gunnar nehmen sich den Klassiker vor und haben viel zu sagen – es ist die bisher ausführlichste Folge geworden. Im Zuge der Recherchen zu dem Spiel hat Gunnar zudem ein Interview mit Noah Falstein geführt – Ausschnitte daraus sind im Podcast zu hören. Viel Spaß beim Hören der Folge!

Die Qualität der LucasFilmGames Adventures in der zweiten Hälfte der achtziger war eng mit den Namen Ron Gilbert und der von ihm entwickelten SCUMM Engine verbunden. Neben selbst entwickelten Eigenmarken der Firma konnte man auch auf die vielversprechenden Lizenzen aus von George Lucas zurückgreifen. Dabei entstand 1989 ein Adventure im Indiana Jones Universum mit dem Superhelden der Archäologie. Die klassische Filmtrilogie der 80iger Jahre fand mit Indiana Jones und der letzte Kreuzzug (vorerst) seinen Abschluss. Für viele Fans der Reihe ist es bis heute der beste Film - ob das Spiel diesen Ruf ebenfalls über die Zeit konservieren konnte erfahrt ihr in unserem Podcast. Wir wünschen viel Spaß beim Zuhören. Parallel haben wir das Gespräch mit Noah Falstein auch auf Video aufgezeichnet und aufbereitet. Dies ist komplett ungeschnitten und bei Youtube zu finden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LLzHJQHTKc An dieser Stelle möchten wir uns nochmals herzlich bei Noah Falstein für sein geduldiges und ausführliches Antworten auf unsere Fragen.

Zum 30. Jubiläum von "Indiana Jones und der letzte Kreuzzug" (orig. "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade") (2019) hatten wir die Chance ein Gespräch mit einem der hauptverantwortlichen Entwickler zu führen. Noah Falstein, ebenfalls ein Veteran in der Spielebranche entwickelte im Laufe seiner Karriere legendäre Titel bei LucasArts und war später bei Klassikern wie Mata Hari federführend.  Im Interview gibt er uns vor allem über seine Zeit bei Lucas Arts Auskunft und schwelgt in Geschichten zu Koronis Rift, Monkey Island und vielen weiteren Titeln an denen er beteiligt gewesen war und bei denen die eine oder andere kuriose Geschichte ans Tageslicht gefördert werden konnte.​ Das Interview ist wieder auf englisch geführt worden, der Podcast zum Spiel "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" steht wie gewohnt in Kürze allen Hörern wieder als Folge auf unseren Kanälen zur Verfügung. Wir wünschen allen Hörern viel Spaß beim anhören und danken euch für eure Unterstützung.​ Parallel haben wir das Gespräch auch auf Video aufgezeichnet und aufbereitet.

We've mentioned it before but now it's finally time to pay homage to one of the greatest Point and Click games ever made. Hal Barwood's Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis gets the full AA treatment. Adrian talks us through his love of the game, how it's taken 20 years to complete it (hint: its difficulty has nothing to do with this) and also treats us to a lovely Indy quiz which you can play along to at home/on the train/on the bus/in your garage staying away from your irate partner...
