Podcasts about SCUMM

En poco más de 20 minutos te cuento toda la historia de LucasFilm Games y LucasArts, sus aventuras gráficas, el motor SCUMM y sus juegos de Star Wars. Contacto: david@historiadelosvicicojuegos.com

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.

Full Throttle was LucasArts' eleventh adventure game overall and the tenth to use the company's in-house game engine, SCUMM. It featured full-motion video and action sequences, using LucasArts' INSANE animation engine, which was previously utilized in Star Wars: Rebel Assault II: The Hidden Empire. It was the first LucasArts game to be distributed only on CD-ROM. It also introduced a contextual pie menu through which the player controls interactions with objects and characters. In contrast to other computer games of the era, which mostly relied on in-house talent for their voice acting, Full Throttle used mostly professional voice actors, including Roy Conrad as Ben, Mark Hamill as the villainous Adrian Ripburger, Hamilton Camp as the elderly Malcolm Corley, and Kath Soucie as Ben's ally Maureen. It was one of the few LucasArts games to use licensed music, featuring songs by San Francisco-area rock band The Gone Jackals.

Auferstanden von den Toten, welch ein Graus,Wir kursieren wie Zombies, aus dem Biergarten raus.Die Koelnmesse findet uns irrelevant,Doch wir lebenden Untoten, wir bleiben galant..Mikrofon in der Hand, so podcasten wir,Unsere Stimmen hallen durch die Nacht, mal dort und mal hier.Die Hoerer lauschen, ob tot, ob lebendig.Unsere Worte bekloppt aber doch so bestaendig.Micha gestoert, die Hoerer am quatschen,Hans leider krank, aber am Ende am tratschen.Ihr lauscht uns, ihr Nasen, das ist doch klar,Ohne uns ist das Leben wie Scumm ohne Bar.Und so liegen wir nieder bis zum naechsten JahrWenn die Messe uns sagt, ihr seid untragbar.Scheissegal, fuer uns bleibts ein Plaisir,weil die beste Gamescom(munity), die haben wir.

“This reckless defiance is intolerable.” Lucasfilm Games teamed up with Infocom's visionary creative Brian Moriarty in 1990 for the fifth of the studio's SCUMM-based point and click adventures, the whimsical and musical Loom. Leon, Chis Worthington, Jesse (who selected this game as his pick for the Volume) and Ryan - along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community - pick their way stitch-by-stitch through this unusual and accessible yarn. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_616.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

Das Grafik-Adventure Sam & Max: Hit the Road von LucasArts kam 1993 auf den Markt, kurz nach Day of the Tentacle. Es war kein großer kommerzieller Erfolg, aber es hagelte Traumwertungen bei der Presse und viele Spieler (darunter auch Chris und Gunnar) zählen es zu ihren Lieblingsadventures der 90er. Im Podcast schauen sich die Herren genauer an, wie der Humor gealtert ist, ob die Rätsel heute noch funktionieren - und erzählen dabei natürlich auch die Entstehungsgeschichte des Spiels.

In part two of our epic interview with the SCUMM Engine's co-creator Aric Wilmunder, we venture further into its evolution through the lens of iconic titles. Aric reminisces on the technical and collaborative strides from 'Monkey Island 2', 'Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis', and shares intriguing insights on the friendly rivalry with Sierra. We explore the auditory dimension added by Skywalker Sounds, the engine shuffle in 'The Dig', and how the INSANE video engine accelerated 'Full Throttle's development. As 'The Curse of Monkey Island' marks the engine's finale, Aric reflects on SCUMM's legacy, the ScummVM project, and his current endeavours in the gaming arena.

Today, we'll all learn about Maniac Mansion, originally released for the Apple II and Commodore 64 in October of 1987. As part of its story, we'll learn all about the early career of its creator, Ron Gilbert. We'll continue by talking about the creation of the SCUMM game engine, upon which the game was built. Finally, we'll talk about our own experiences with the game. So join us for today's manic episode on yet another trip down Memory Card Lane.

Before Secret of Monkey Island...before Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis...before Sam & Max...there was Maniac Mansion!  Learn how the game was made, including the origins of the venerable SCUMM engine, which would be used for nearly every LucasArts adventure title to follow.  Discover why Ron Gilbert decided to make Maniac Mansion an adventure game in the first place (hint: it has to do with a certain other company's fiendishly hard adventure titles).  And, finally, learn whether it's worth your time today to return to the Edison Mansion.  Does Maniac Mansion belong in our Pantheon of Classic Gaming?  Listen and find out!

Speltekniska revolutioner har aldrig varit roligare än i Maniac Mansion. Här introducerades SCUMM, gränssnittet som gjorde det möjligt att välja textkommandon och sen peka och klicka på saker i omgivningen. Plötsligt kunde vi välja hamstern, placera den i mikrovågsugnen och inkassera outsägliga skuldkänslor när vi sen plockade upp det blodiga byltet som var kvar. Maniac Mansion pulveriserade den lilla oskuld vi hade kvar.Gäst: Alfred Holmgren

It's time for pointin' and clicking' and piratin', oh my, as Kay and Carrington play one of LucasFilm's famously funny forays into adventure gaming. Will they become terrors of the high seas, or be stuffed into Davy Jones' locker? All we know for sure is, there will be grog.

When a PC game is ported to the NES, it's not always pretty. Luckily, Maniac Mansion for the NES is pretty awesome! We cover the game-play mechanics, SCUMM system, and the surprisingly deep history in Pt 1

Only the cleverest SCUMM could solve these puzzles! Grab two of your iconic friends - Bernard, Jeff, Michael, Razor, Syd, or Wendy - and boldly enter the kooky Edison Mansion to save your ensnared girlfriend, Sandy Pantz! We're headed back to 1987 to explore the cult classic video game from LucasFilm Games, Maniac Mansion. This game is full of iconic music, foundation-building game systems, and enough creative twists, turns, and cyphers to make you wonder, “did a dastardly meteor and two unlikely tentacles write this thing?!” Let's step inside and see the world of point-and-click adventures this game and many of its offspring have given us.   -- Can I Borrow Your Notes? --  Maniac Mansion: The classic graphic adventure game (Classic Gaming) The Untold Story of Maniac Mansion: For Nintendo, the baddest bad word is kill (Wired) Why Adventure Games Suck And What We Can Do About It (Grumpy Gamer) Universal Hint System Thimbleweed Park   -- Teacher's Pets --  Join the Class of 80's High: 80shighpodcast@gmail.com Follow on Instagram: @80shighpodcast and Twitter: @high_80s Theme song by Greg Reed at gregreedmusic.com Cover art by Alex Goddard at alexgoddarddesign.com

A principios de los años 90, Lucasfilm Games editó uno de las obras más trascendentales de la historia de los videojuegos: The Secret of Monkey Island. Pronto, las aventuras de un joven aprendiz de pirata llamado Guybrush Threepwood, cautivaron a toda una generación, inaugurando la edad dorada de las aventuras gráficas.

On this week's MADEcast episode Alex has a chat with the amazing Ron Gilbert! Inventor of SCUMM, as well as being one of the Lucasfilm Games legends. If that isn't enough, He is also one of the brilliant minds behind Maniac Mansion as well as a fierce champion of adventure games. Seriously, he's amazing!

Dachz tells a story about Ron Gilbert and the creation of the SCUMM Engine, which was used to create several cult classic Lucas Arts games, like Maniac Mansion and The Secret of Monkey Island.

Die Welt, Ende der 80er. Es herrscht im Adventure-Genre ziemlich unangefochten die Firma Sierra mit ihren Erfolgsserien, aber 1987 setzt LucasFilm Games, der Games-Arm von George Lucas' Filmfirma, einen Kontrapunkt: Maniac Mansion etabliert mit seinen technischen Errungenschaften und dem popkulturell aufgeladenen Humor eine Formel, die von da an das Genre prägt. Die Erwartungshaltung an das nächste Adventure des Studios ist folglich groß – und Studio-Veteran David Fox liefert mit Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders ein umfangreiches Spiel, das sich stark an Maniac Mansion orientiert, aber an entscheidenden Stellen von dem Vorbild abweicht. Insbesondere in Deutschland erobern sich die LucasArts-Adventures einen dauerhaften Platz in den Herzen der Spieler. Chris und Gunnar sprechen über die Entstehung des Titels, über das Spiel und lassen auch den Entwickler David Fox zu Wort kommen.

If you're half as dorky as we are, you're gonna love today's episode. In fact, this one is so dorky that Alex needed to call in backup. We've brought on Matt Hargett, who you'll remember from last episode, to talk to Chip Morningstar, programmer extraordinaire. Chip and Matt give us insight into the origins of SCUMM, how to weasel your way into a job at Lucasfilm, and the power of a great name.

LOOM ist ein Point'n Click Adventure von 1990 geschrieben von Brian Moriaty für Lucasfilm Games. Es behandelt die fantastische Reise von Bobbin, dem Weberjungen, der seine in Schwäne verwandelten Webermitglieder retten will.

Comenzamos Marzo repasando las noticias más destacadas, haciendo un pequeño análisis de esos vídeos con gameplay de Half-life Alyx, esa precuela para VR que el mismo día 23 tendremos entre manos. También repasaremos la demo de otro clásico que vuelve: Final Fantasy VII Remake donde bajo nuestra opinión, han sabido actualizar la fórmula de forma muy acertada. Travol nos trae de vuelta al amor por el pixel, con Children of Morta, ese rogue-like tan mimado y con tantas posibilidades que nos ha sorprendido gratamente. Por que salir de aventuras, siempre ha sido una actividad para compartir en familia. Resulta que nuestro Abad dice que tuvo mucho que ver con la gloriosa época de Lucasarts, que sorprendió y marcó a toda una generación con su motor SCUMM y sus jarras de Grog. Que alguien traiga una polea y un pollo, seguro que nos va a hacer falta. JK le ha cogido gusto a eso de revisar remakes, y nos trae el poco conocido y extraño Silent Hill: Shattered Memories que salió en el 2009 para la mítica Wii. Toda una alternativa al juego original para tener muy en cuenta, donde aseguran que no eres tú quien juega al juego, si no que es el juego el que lo hace contigo. En nuestra sección Mini-retro jugamos a ser dios con Actraiser, donde deberemos gestionar el avance de un pueblo con un bonito querubín a la par que cercenamos cabezas de demonios a mandoblazos. ¡Toda una experiencia bipolar! Rodor no recuerda nada, esta mañana se levantó y se le había olvidado quien era, donde estaba, y de lo que tenía que hablar en el programa, menos mal que le hemos recordado que le tocaba Disco Elysium y, con la ayuda de los dados, llevará a buen puerto su análisis. Cerramos con el reto Itch.io, en esta ocasión revisamos los dos juegazos de Terry Cavanagh que teníamos pendientes y asignamos dos nuevos elegidos. ¡Ah! este programa incluye sonorización de fondo constante y completamente legal. Dale al play!! Dewa, mata. Juank, Travol y RodoR

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.

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!

Journey back to 1987 as we delve into one of the true classics of the adventure game genre, Maniac Mansion!  This is the game for which the SCUMM engine was built, a technology that would single-handedly shape the future of LucasArts adventure games for the next decade.  Learn about the development of the game, its cultural significance, and, as always, re-live the experience of playing the game through our talkthrough session, accompanied by music from the Maniac Mansion Deluxe fan remake.    Timestamps: Intro / Background / History:  00:00:00 - 00:39:52 Talkthrough:  00:39:53 - 01:21:52 Final  Remarks / Pantheon Ranking / Preview for Next Episode:  01:21:53 - 01:37:15

Coming to you this week all the way from the Caribbean, it's your two favourite drunken sailors! Undead pirates, hilarious puns, and much monkeying around as Ben and Jono navigate the Scumm engine in this classic from Lucas Arts! So, grab your grog, your best one-liners, and walk the plank to Monkey Island...

We finally did it! Another classic SCUMM game. Oh man, this is why we do this podcast. Hopefully you enjoyed playing Zak as well, but even if you didn't, you'll probably still get a kick out of this blast from the past.We do some quick intro information, we get into the history and making-of around the 5:45 mark, and really get into the gameplay around 19:15. We play some "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" around 32:00 and finish things up talking about next month's game at 39:30. Enjoy!As usual, you can always find us at the following places:Website: www.MenOfLowMoralFiber.com Twitter: @MOLMFpod Instagram: @MenOfLowMoralFiber Email: MOLMFpod@gmail.comCheck out our MOLMF merch too!And if you have a minute, go check out our Patreon: patreon.com/molmf

It's LOOOOOM!!!! Yeah, it's a SCUMM game, but it's even weirder than any of the other ones. Don't like verbs? How about playing tunes with a distaff instead?? That's right, it's super weird. That being said, we had a blast diving into another LucasArts classic. Hopefully you did to. Enjoy!After some quick intros, we start up on the history and development at the 5:40 mark, then at 21:45 we start getting deeper into the gameplay. Then Ben has a few questions for Jason around the 32 minute mark, they play a delightful round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" at 38:15 and tell you what they're playing next month at 43:15.Don't forget! We're still taking audio memos answering the questions "Why do you play video games?"

Retro developer Paul Nicholas (@Liquidream) Skypes in to talk about his excellent game project, SCUMM-8, and share the inspirations behind his work.

We start off talking to David about how he first got to Lucasfilm Games, then at 7:15 we get into what it was like working at the company, as well as the inner workings and development of the SCUMM engine. Then at 10:30 we talk about the first few games that David was the designer, project leader, and a programmer on (Rescue on Fractalus!, Labyrinth, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders). At 21:45 we ask David about what it was like going from a programmer to the Director of Operations for LucasArts.We jump ahead and get into Thimbleweed Park at the 30:30 mark (BEWARE: SPOILERS AFTER THIS POINT), and then get into some of David's overall career work and themes throughout at 48:30. At the end, around 54:30, David enlightens us with his own personal rendition of "What's the Beer? What's the Song?" for Thimbleweed Park, and of course offers a few recommendations for us as well.For instance, make sure you check out Family Confidential, David's wife Annie's podcast: http://familyconfidential.com/And of course there's David's previous project Rube Works as well: https://www.rubegoldberg.com/education/rube-works-game/Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!Also, if you have a minute, feel free to check out our Patreon video over at: https://www.patreon.com/molmfAnd thanks again to all of our fantastic patrons who've already jumped in.Otherwise, you can always find us at the following locales:Website: www.MenOfLowMoralFiber.com Twitter: @MOLMFpod Instagram: @MenOfLowMoralFiber Email: MOLMFpod@gmail.comCheck out our MOLMF merch too!And if you have a minute, go check out our Patreon: patreon.com/molmf

Ron Gilbert is a legend in the video game industry. He designed the PC classics Maniac Mansion, The Secret of Monkey Island and other successful point and click adventure games and created the SCUMM scripting language. Arguable the best thing about Ron’s games is his strong comedic voice. Ron’s games ooze humor. I could have spoke with Ron about his several decades long career in gaming, his comedic influences or his upcoming game, Thimbleweed Park due out in early 2017, but instead we sat in silence for 25 minutes. Ron used that time to work on Thimbleweed Park while I folded my laundry.

Double Fine graces the laboratory with more of it's excellent game creators! This week we welcome the dubiously ubiquitous Ron Gilbert, of Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island fame, and Chad Dawson, lead programmer on The Cave and AI developer for over a decade. Additionally, although Spencer was getting his face operated on (thank god!), Eric Fullerton offered to fill in! In this episode, we discuss the chick-magnet capabilities of classic computers, the ever-present question of why anyone makes an MMO, and whether SCUMM can leave a mark.[MP3 AUDIO]Kevin on TwitterThe CaveDouble Fine ProductionsGet a 30-day free trial of NetflixTry a free audiobook and support the show![LINK] Zombies Run: a running game and audio adventure[LINK] Rich Vogel leaving Bioware amid layoff rumors.[LINK] Left 4 Dead 2 to be first Valve game on Linux[LINK] Ouya kickstarter[LINK] Sony missed Limbo exclusivity by asking for ip rightsWe will be giving away Steam codes for the The Double Fine Bundle.

We take another detour from the past in this month's game and jump forward to the year 2016...even though in the game we jump back to the classic SCUMM year 1989...but yeah, we played this year's indie sensation, Firewatch. Hopefully you got a chance to play it, but if not, it's only about a 4 hour game in total, and it's riveting and interesting and just a great experience throughout. Check it out. And after you've checked it out, go listen to our podcast all about it.After a quick intro, we get into the making-of and history at about 3:30, then at 26:45, we FINALY dive into the gamplay (although to be honest, there's a lot of crossover with those two sections). At 42 min in, we play a classic round of "What's the Beer? What's the Song?" and tell you what we're up to next month at 48:30.Enjoy and thank again for listening!If you want to catch us in between episodes, you can find us at these places:Website: www.MenOfLowMoralFiber.com Twitter: @MOLMFpod Instagram: @MenOfLowMoralFiber Email: MOLMFpod@gmail.comCheck out our MOLMF merch too!And if you have a minute, go check out our Patreon: patreon.com/molmf

Hello and welcome to our first episode! Thanks for downloading this little gem. In today's episode we talk about the first LucasArts game built with their innovative SCUMM engine. Pretty revolutionary stuff. We start off with some history, then around 21:40 we get into the set up and gameplay of Maniac Mansion. Then set up our next game around 40:30, followed by a rousing discussion of which games we're most excited/anxious about playing at around 41:45. Then the real fun begins at 45:20 when we chat about our good friend, Chuck The Plant, and at 48:20 we cover What's the Beer? What's the Song? (We apologize about the poor audio, but if you can get through it, I promise our next episode sounds much better.)Our next episode comes out Friday, March 4th and we'll be covering Maniac Mansion 2: Day Of The Tentacle!

Aric Wilmunder: Star Raiders II, Temple of Apshai Here’s how Aric Wilmunder introduced himself to me: “When The Last Starfighter didn’t do well in the theaters and marketing re-branded the Atari 800 Last Starfighter game as Star Raiders II, they didn’t take into account that there was already an actual sequel to Star Raiders that was just a few months away from completion.  I was the designer and solo engineer who worked for about a year on the project as a member of an R&D team inside Atari Coin-Op.  A friend helped me copy the disk image a few years back and when I saw Steve Hales post your tweet about the source code [for Star Raiders] I thought there might be some interest. “The game was close to being finished, but there were still parts that needed polishing like the enemy AI, so I’ve been hesitant to release it since it might be judged as a finished work. I’d hate to wait 30 years to release the game just to get a bad review.” Aric Wilmunder started writing programs on the Exidy Sorcerer computer, then worked at Automated Simulations, writing the Atari 8-bit conversions of Star Warrior; Crush, Crumble, and Chomp; and Temple of Apshai. Next he worked at Atari’s corporate research department, where he worked on Chris Crawford’s Gossip game. Then, in the R&D department at Atari coin-op, he created Star Raiders II for the Atari 8-bit computers — a game that was never finished nor released. Later he worked at LucasFilm games, where his work included the XEGS version of Ballblazer. This interview took place December 5, 2015. Teaser quotes: “A music video on the Atari 800. So it was video and art being displayed on the Atari 800 that was in sync with music that was playing off of a CD.” “[In Star Raiders] Because you’re targeting the Xylons, you’re putting them in your crosshairs, you’re actually their A.I. ... All they had to do was this very simple A.I. to move around, and the closer you track them, the more accurate they become. ... [Doug Neubauer] let the player fight themselves.” LINKS Download Star Raiders II ATR file and documentation (click Show All): https://archive.org/details/StarRaidersII_Wilmunder  Video of unreleased, unfinished Star Raiders II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb03mSdMaYc  Aric’s web site: http://www.wilmunder.com/Arics_World/1980s.html  Custom PC Magazine article about SCUMM and interview with Aric (see page 86): http://issuu.com/duongkim/docs/custom_pc_-_2015.10  AtariAge discussion about Star Raiders II: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/246591-wilmunders-star-raiders-ii-released/ 

Now many console gamers may not know the name "LucasArts", although some of their titles have come to consoles. But LucasArts is much more known in the realm of computer gaming, as many of their titles have been released on a plethora of home computer platforms. From the Atari 8-bit family, to the Commodore 64, and later to the Atari ST, Amiga, FM Towns, IBM PC, and Macintosh computer lines, LucasArts made their fortune and glory, best known for their amazing graphic adventure games, which utilized their in-house engine known as SCUMM, as well as some top notch Star Wars games. LucasArts continued to publish and develop many games until 2012, when their parent company Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney. In 2013, LucasArts sadly let go of their internal development teams, and now exists solely as a license holder. However, in spite of this, many of their classic titles are available on services such as Steam and GOG.com, and I highly recommend checking them out. Now, for this episode, I will make mention that LucasArts used a special music engine for many of their games called iMUSE, which allowed for dynamic music; music tracks could seamlessly segue-way into one another to best fit the mood. Some of the tracks featured will demonstrate iMUSE in action. Additionally, some of these tracks were originally MIDI tracks, and I have selected to use recordings as they would sound running through a MIDI module known as the Roland MT-32. Make sure your DOS box has enough free RAM and you have your copy protection codes ready, because we're about to go on a time warp of amazing LucasArts music! =====Game - Composer - Title - Year - System==== 1) Maniac Mansion – Chris Grigg & David Lawrence - “Opening Titles (Commodore 64 version)” - October 5, 1987 (C64/Apple II), March 1988 (DOS), 1989 (Amiga/Atari ST/DOS v2) 2) Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders – Matthew Alan Kane & Chris Grigg - “Main Theme (FM Towns version)” - October 1988 (C64/DOS), 1989 (Amiga/Atari ST/DOS v2), 1990 (FM Towns) 3) Loom – Based on “Swan Lake” by Pytor Ilyich Tchaikovsky; arranged by George “The Fat Man” Sanger & Eric Hammond - “Opening Title” & “Guild of Glassmakers” (Roland MT-32 versions) - May 1990 (DOS/Mac OS/Amiga/Atari ST), 1991 (FM Towns), 1992 (DOS Talkie) 4) Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe – Michael Land - “Opening Titles” - August 1991 (DOS) 5) The Secret of Monkey Island – Michael Land, Barney Jones, Andy Newell, & Patrick Mundy - “Voodoo Lady” & “The SCUMM Bar” (CD Audio versions) – October 1990 (Amiga/DOS Floppy/Atari ST/Mac OS), 1992 (DOS CD/FM Towns/Sega CD/Amiga CDTV) 6) Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “Villa de la Booty” - December 1991 (DOS/Amiga/Mac OS/FM Towns) 7) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “The Colonies of Atlantis” - June 1992 (DOS/Amiga/Mac OS/FM Towns) 8) Day of the Tentacle – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “Hotel Interiors – Present” - June 25, 1993 (DOS/Mac OS) 9) Sam & Max Hit the Road – Clint Bajakian, Peter McConnell, & Michael Land - “A Pleasantly Understated Credits Sequence” & “King of the Creatures” - November 1993 (DOS/Mac OS) 10) Full Throttle – The Gone Jackals - “Legacy” - April 30, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 11) Star Wars: Dark Forces – Michael Land (original arrangements by John Williams - “The Secret Base” - February 28, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 12 ) The Dig – Michael Land – “The Ancient City” - November 30, 1995 (DOS/Mac OS) 13) The Curse of Monkey Island – Michael Land (vocals: Dominic Armato, Alan Young, Gregg Berger, Michael Sorich) – “A Pirate I Was Meant To Be” - October 31, 1997 (Windows) 14) Outlaws – Clint Bajakian - “The Ballad of Dr. Death” - March 1997 (Windows) 15) Grim Fandango – Peter McConnell - “Blue Casket Bop” & “Casino Calavera” - October 30, 1998 (Windows)

In which our heroes, after a tragic technology failure, look back over the astounding titles that were released on LucasArts' SCUMM engine. (P.S. apologies for the sound quality, we're settling back in after the tech failures, but we're not back up to standard yet)

Part deux of our chat with Tony Sarkees, an attorney in Chicago who loves making things at the local hackerspace as much as he loves gaming. We play This is Your Life, compete in a quiz about C64 games and talk gadgets. Tony is the ultimate mobile consumer, switching his SIM card between Android & iPhone for many years. It all started with jailbreaking an iPod Touch. Chris remembers Tony’s many tweets about his Chumby, a cuddly, user-friendly device that our guest believes has no counterpart. Not too long ago, our guest’s friend Newman passed away and Chris is touched by Tony’s tribute to his cat. Quiz Time The Commodore 64 game Agent USA. The Lucas Arts games company used a programming language called SCUMM. SCUMM stands for Scripting Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion. Another terrific Lucas Arts game was Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders. Once again our guest defeats Paul! Paul says, “Yo dawg, do you remember Napster?” We discuss piracy and the maker community. Chris suggests the Stuff You Should Know Podcast about TV ratings. Paul suggests checking out the C.G.P. Grey youtube channel, because learning! Chris’ next project is rebuilding his subwoofer. Did you know you could build your own and probably get something better and less expensive? Everything you need is at Parts Express. Paul is hoping to build a gnarly workspace in his office for all this podcast gear. He’s learning Google Sketch Up to create something. He’s starting the center of the sweet desktop with a rackmount equipment stand. Chris shares a very cool site with open designs, OpenDesk. Thanks to all the listeners who bought one of our Tees! Unfortunately, they are no longer for sale, but you can always request a reprint. You can find Tony on twitter, his site, the electro bureau or grab some of the things he makes at his shop.

In our first official episode we cover the 1993 LucasArts adventure game Sam & Max Hit the Road. First off, I introduce myself for those that didn't get a chance to listen to episode 0. Then we talk a bit about the adventure game genre in general. We get into a fun in-depth discussion about the game itself, including some clips, a review of the plot, fun facts and stories from its development and much more. In our tech focus segment, we discuss the SCUMM game engine that was used to build Sam & Max Hit the Road and other LucasArts adventure games.

Our Think of the Children series continues with analysis of the best stories of the NES and SNES eras. Justin, Cole, Ethan, Gifford, and our guest, Craig reflect on Zeldas, Metroids, Quests, and soft Squares while forgetting your favorite game. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow It’s been a while since The Horrible Show thought of the children, but @pwrglove (Craig) joins Justin, Cole, Ethan, and Gifford to nominate some of their favorite gaming storylines to help round out those kids’ gaming educations. Of course you have to survive some classy babysitter conversation to get to the historical conversation, but we never said our podcast wasn’t a minefield. Gifford takes on us a mobile journey with this week’s On the Spot question about the future of the relationship between app developers and our favorite mobile providers. If that’s too futuristic for you, we will take you back home to the early days of video games as we seek out the stand out storylines of the first generations of video games. We use Nintendo as the time benchmark and attempt to cover the NEs, SNEs, and N64 eras, but only make it through the first two thanks to glorious overanalysis of Zaxxon, King’s Quest, Super Mario Bros, multiple Zeldas, Fantasies, and X-Com. What did we leave out? Probably something important, and feel free to let us hear about it as we finalize our list. Anger takes over the end of the episode as GiffTor and Ethan unleash their fury about their disappointment about Homefront.
