Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we complete our miniseries on rotoscoped games with part two of The Last Express. We talk about the sweep of history, playing parallel, ending in Vienna and other topics before turning to takeaways. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: To Vienna (Tim), Somewhere after Strasbourg (Brett) Issues covered: different puzzle formats and it still working, not knowing what to do with the bug, diverting to The Murder on the Orient Express plot, putting a spin on the old plots, Tim has a favorite tea, political violence in games, world history on the march, the tension of violence in political discourse, the legendary cities it passes through, avoiding caricature for the most part, the melting pot, strong writing and performances, naturalism and theatrics, countries shifting, passing through empires, playing parallel versions of the story, trying the wrong rooms, the medical issue of the older Russian, the importance of time, games that are watertight, the appearance of simulation, adjusting the state machine, wondering whether the game knows what you know, the dog and having to get it into place, a consistent character, committing to a different sort of game and the downstream consequences, comparing with more abstract games, adding constraints, pulling in things from other media, making a big leap forward in realism and groundedness, the talent for keyframing grounded animation, getting metrics and level design constraints from the animation, deeper and different storytelling, teasing an interview, Gogo and Umaro and tuning your player experience. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: MYST, Agatha Christie, And Then There Were None, CSI, Peter Ustinov, Kenneth Branagh, Sherlock Holmes, Scream, Wes Anderson, The Darjeeling Limited, Far Cry (series), Sierra, LucasArts, Anton Chekhov, Karateka, Deadline, The Witness, The 7th Guest, Prince of Persia, Firewatch, The Walking Dead, Jake Gyllenhaal, Source Code, Rian Johnson, David Bowie, Duncan Jones, Edge of Tomorrow, Michelle Monaghan, Groundhog Day, Bill Murray, Deathloop, Prey: Mooncrash, Day of the Tentacle, Vienna Waits for You, A Death in Venice, Another World, Super Mario (series), Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit, Fire and Ice, Eric Chahi, Jordan Mechner, Ray Harryhausen, Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, Phantasmagoria, Police Quest, Grim Fandango, Akira Toriyama, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Quest, Dragonball Z, Ashmann86, Em, Final Fantasy VI, Rage, Bethesda Game Studios, Kingdom Hearts III, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our mini theme of the flexibility of text. We examine the Infocom era by playing a late title, Plundered Hearts. We discuss some of the rougher aspects of the game and the mechanics of text adventures, including the facilities of the language and some of its modern descendants. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Tim (all), Brett (the first section) Issues covered: setting the game in its time, graphic adventures in the time, the death of Infocom, the variety of Infocom's game, Tim pulling his hair out, the cinematic nature of the game, some digressions on Deadline, extending the play through difficulty, saving the game, puzzles and wordplay, exploring the parser, accommodating the player, playing with tropes, Tim misses the boat, a bit of description of the parser and virtual machine, rooms and inventory, fore and aft vs north and south, abstraction and flexibility, restrictions, great graphics via visualization, the perfect run and the perfect score, the modern text adventure market, trigger warning for adult themes, a female protagonist, failure states, "a fate worse than death," a commentary about the dangers for women in the world, a game that she wanted to play, the context of the medium and the inherent danger of the world, having an impactful victory, Vermin's SL1 of Dark Souls, Pippin Barr and experimental games, Break Out and performance art, from Rogue to Diablo.

Police Quest is one of those classic Sierra titles that many adventure gamers hold in high regard.  Blue Force, developed by a group of ex-Sierra employees, was Tsunami Media's attempt at capturing that Sierra magic.  Learn how the game came to be, and listen in as we determine whether this point-and-click adventure is worth your time today.   Join the discussion on Discord!

Die Adventures aus dem Hause Sierra brachten etliche langlebige Serien hervor: King's Quest, Space Quest, Larry, allesamt begannen als parserbasierte Spiele, die im Verlauf auch Point n Click Ableger hervorbrachten. Die vielleicht ambitionierteste ihrer Reihen war aber vielleicht die Police Quest Serie, die dank Designer und Ex-Polizist Jim Walls den Anspruch besaß "echte" Polizeiarbeit abbilden zu wollen. Nur...macht das auch Spaß? Hardy und Dan sind bekanntermaßen große Adventure Fans und stürzen sich gemeinsam auf die Straßen von des von Kriminalität gebeutelten Städtchens Lytton, um einen Überblick über die Polizeiserie mit Schwerpunkt auf den dritten Teil zu geben.

Testosterona a tope en la portada de MicroManía#39 con el soldado de ‘War Zone’ que le robó el cuerpo a Stallone y la cabeza a no sabemos quién. Fuera del grandísimo MegaJuego ‘Speedball 2’, de algún juego de consola, y del longplay de @jgonza_, que se da unas buenas vacaciones alrededor del mundo con ‘¿Dónde está Carmen Sandiego?’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjH_2sIlr_4), esta MicroManía tiene un contenido bastante olvidable y olvidado. Por suerte, Bracula y Bisarma, de NoSoloRetro, nos acompañan para destripar el informe de Sierra Online. Un repaso exhaustivo a sus mejores sagas: King’s Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest y Leisure Suit Larry. También aprovechan para hablarnos de su próximo proyecto: RetroHobby30, un repaso a la revista HobbyConsolas 30 años después. Así que estad atentos a su nuevo podcast, que comenzará el 1 de Octubre. Cargamos RetroManía30 en el minuto 58. Enlace a MicroManía #39: https://archive.org/details/micromania-segunda-epoca-39

Ken and Roberta Williams created Sierra On-Line in 1979 with their first graphical adventure game for the Apple II compute "Mystery House". From these humble beginnings the world opened up for them and with games such as Police Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and Kings Quest, Sierra rocketed to the top of the charts and became one of the biggest game publishers in the world. Today we meet Ken and discuss those early days, and find out a little more about his history and his exciting new game.

Jack and Ed discuss the 1993 game Police Quest: open season before discussing the 1993 Flyers trade for Eric Lindros.

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben! Die Game Awards 2020 stehen in den Geschichtsbüchern. Wir werten sie hier nochmal im Detail aus. Wie gefiel uns die Veranstaltung allgemein?

Well here's a question to consider. Is there someone that you are in competition with even though they don't know it? For example, I am in a competition with my friend's achievements/trophies list. I slowed down with my Playstation friends because I am like 20 levels above my nearest friend so I assumed I am the winner in the battle. It's a much closer competition with Xbox as I am only a few thousand above my nearest friend.Ideliverthings: As I sit on this perch sipping on my last carton of Hi-C , waiting on a clear shot at that elusive Cliff a question pops to mind.

I’m not sure how this will be read on the podcast, but like O'Reily... we'll DO IT LIVE!Yesterday I made the hardest gaming sacrifice I have to face today, for the better. I bought Animal Crossing: New Horizons on a whim after watching it and hearing plenty of talk about the game for days after it’s release. My "Step Daughter" was excited when she learned I bought the game. Five days later, she comes to find that she is NOT the Island Representative of her own place, but a resident of MY island, Wise Acres. Needless to say, she played a day and nothing more. Flash forward 150 hours of ME playing, and my girlfriend dropped a hint that her daughter was disappointed and asked if she could buy another game, or memory card, or SOMETHING to be able for her to have her own place. Unfortunately, the only two options were to buy ANOTHER CONSOLE and GAME or drop the nuke, delete the save, start from scratch. Being in my position, I wanted to do what was right, and responsible...R.I.P. Wise Acres. Parental Sacrifices are not taught, nor really talked about. it's just something you. do. Have any of you made some sort of Gaming Sacrifice to benefit your kid, spouse, or family member?Update to my story...My "stepdaughter" made her own island and I have a house set up. But I am not doing much on her island... if you would like someone to service your island.

Rumor has it that leftist politics podcasts only exist to rip on Democrats. Well, that’s only half-true: we rip on right-wing politicians all day long, but we know that they’re fascists and plutocrats. Democrats, on the other hand, are supposed to be on our side -- hence our desire to actually elect people who represent our desires. And in that vein, we’re discussing Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden. Guess what? They’re bad. We’re greatly indebted to friend of the show Nathan J. Robinson, whose article for Current Affairs forms the basis of our criticism of Mayor Pete: https://www.currentaffairs.org/2019/03/all-about-pete This week’s bonus features a discussion between friend of the show Brock Wilbur and Francis, on the topic of Sierra's "Police Quest" series, a game in which you'll always die if you don't do it by the book. They discuss its inherent reactionary sentiment, the way it changed to suit gaming modes of the day, and the looming shadow of Daryl F. Gates—the father of the militarized LAPD and a consultant for the Police Quest games.

To start with, welcome back and hello to the new listeners, we hope everyone is having fun and taking care of themselves. So this week we find out that NASA forgot to pack enough clothes for the astronauts and that by doing this we failed to see history being made. That’s right folks, we had the first all-female space-walk in history planned and someone messed up. We roast the folks at NASA for messing this up. Hopefully it will be able to happen next time and become a regular practice. Also for those in Brisbane the Queensland Museum has an exhibit of space suits and other items to spend some time dreaming over. Next up we look at the latest on this year’s Video Game Hall of Fame nominations, some are looking good and one is surprising. We take a look at the games already in the Hall and try to find out which is the favourite. Unfortunately Leisure Suit Larry isn’t on the list, neither was there any of the Police Quest, Space Quest or Outrun for Buck. Oh to be so old and to have played so many games as our resident geriatric. Lastly we review the new movie coming out for Dora the Explorer and try to figure out if it is working out to be great or just another in a long line of failures. One thing though is Danny Trejo is involved and we don’t think he has a machete in this movie. Oh well, I guess it is safe for kids to watch then. As usual we have the regular list of shout outs, remembrances, birthdays, and events of interest. As usual we have a lot of fun bringing you this latest episode of mayhem, so settle in with a cup of earl grey and a biscuit while we bring you some of the news this week in Nerd pop culture. Remember, take care of each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES:All Female spacewalk fiasco - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-26/nasa-cancels-first-all-female-spacewalk-no-fitting-suits/10942166World Video Game Hall of Fame finalists - https://variety.com/2019/gaming/news/world-video-game-hall-of-fame-2019-finalists-1203169062/Dora and the city of Gold trailer - https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/first-trailer-dora-lost-city-gold/Games currently playingProfessor– Wargroove - https://store.steampowered.com/app/607050/Wargroove/DJ– Didn’t playBuck– The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - https://store.steampowered.com/app/22320/The_Elder_Scrolls_III_Morrowind_Game_of_the_Year_Edition/Other topics discussedAstronauts driving Corvettes- https://jalopnik.com/why-americas-first-astronauts-all-drove-corvettes-5799011Queensland Museum host NASA spacesuits- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-21/brisbane-hosts-nasa-space-suits-in-world-first/10911452Apollo 13 space mission- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13World Video game Hall of Fame- https://www.worldvideogamehalloffame.org/Dune 2 (1992 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_IICentipede (1981 Atari game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centipede_(video_game)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7XEmf02zEMLesuire suit Larry (game series)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leisure_Suit_LarryCommand & Conquer Rivals (2018 Mobile game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_RivalsStar Wars Battlefront 2 (2017 game)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Battlefront_II_(2017_video_game)Danny Trejo (actor)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_TrejoDark Universe (movie franchise)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Classic_Monsters#Dark_UniverseBride of Frankenstein (Reboot)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bride_of_Frankenstein#RebootAlex Kurtzman (Director)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_KurtzmanSecond Take Media podcast- http://www.secondtakepodcast.com/Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_OblivionThe Elder Scrolls : Arena- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls:_ArenaPicture of an Iron Lung- https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--h45WgUrf--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,pg_1,q_80,w_800/cgggbe3okmcbg8kmcoxk.jpgBuzz Aldrin punches Bart Sibrel- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUE4VGWAap4Attack of the Killer Tomatoes- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_of_the_Killer_TomatoesUmbrella Corporation (Resident Evil reference)- https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Umbrella_CorporationEncino Man quote: The cheese is old and mouldy- http://www.moviequotes.com/repository.cgi?pg=3&tt=92687Shoutouts26 Mar 1953 – Salk announces polio vaccine - https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/salk-announces-polio-vaccine26 Mar 1989 – USSR later known as Russia conducts its 1st election, 190 million people voted which resulted in Boris Yeltsin winning the election. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Soviet_Union_legislative_election28 Mar 2019 – Batman turns 80 - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/22/arts/design/batman-80th-anniversary.htmlRememberances26 Mar 1892 – Walt Whitman, American poet, essayist, and journalist.

He was known for playing Spock in the Star Trek franchise, a character he portrayed in television and film from a pilot episode shot in late 1964 to his final film performance in 2013. Nimoy's public profile as Spock was so strong that both of his autobiographies, I Am Not Spock (1975) and I Am Spock (1995), were written from the viewpoint of sharing his existence with the character.[5][6] In 2015 an asteroid was named 4864 Nimoy in his honor.

Erik Kristopher Myers joins me on "Whatcha Playing" to talk about old school Sierra point and click adventure games! From King's Quest to Space Quest, Police Quest and the Holy Grail that is Leisure Suit Larry, we have fun reminiscing about these classics and how they capitvated so many of us.

George and Josh give their history with video games, some of the systems they talk about may be considered ancient technology by this point. Tetris, Castlevania, Police Quest, Mario Bros 3 are among some of the classics we reminisce about. We talk about our least favorite Final Fantasy titles and much more.

It's Adventure Month and we talk to founder of AdventureSoft Mike Woodroffe about classics like Elvira, Waxworks and Simon The Sorcerer.

You look up from your keyboard and notice something's not right. It looks like the game you were just playing, but a little off. A little worse. Did you fall into a game within a game? "No worries," you think, as you resume tapping away at the keys, "I'll just finish up this little Easter Egg and be moving again in no time," and delve deeper. The police discover your skeleton, still at the keyboard, dead for who knows how long. The officer who found your remains enters them into evidence improperly, is suspended without pay, and must restore from a previous save.
