This week Anna & Paul bring you the Sierra Remake Comparison IV: This One Isn't Even Sierra. Look, you all asked us about Loom and we finally answered. We also made sense of what exactly was being weaved, all while comparing the original EGA version to the VGA and FM Towns remake. Join us as we present to you our flimsy arguments as to which is the best while Paul upsets the LucasArts fans by constantly referring to the protagonist as Bobbin Threepbare and Bobbin Threadwood, possibly by accident, frankly I'm not so sure. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are joined by the magician I mean musician, Erik Elsom, the talented man behind Magic Map Studio and they are discussing King's Quest VI: Having Hair is Human. They chat about the game as if to verbally play it for you which typing that out, it's amazing anybody listens to this show. But you do! And this episode is a lot of fun, probably, if I'm honest, I'm typing this like an hour before recording. Oh man, I hope this didn't jinx it... Nah, it, it's gonna be fine. You'll see, you're about to see. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul Mangia! Whoops, that was a typo. See I, I didn't wanna erase last episode's mangia cos that's a whole word I'd have to type but the- doesn't matter, ok this week is part 3 of the Sierra Comparison Series™️ and it's Space Questests turn! It's the AGI EGA original vs the SCI VGA remake! And it's not really versus, it's more a comparison but like how every parent secretly has a favorite child, we definitely liked one more than the other. Maybe, who really cares, Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are joined by special guest Daniel Albu (Conversations with Curtis) to excavate deep into The Dig. It was actually more work to avoid saying dig deep than it was worth. Anyway, actually, that's kinda it. I mean you know the deal, they talk about the game, which in this case is The Dig, you can already see they're joined by a guest, like usual the guest is prolly the knowledgable one in the group and then something something laughter and facts*. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul have a particularly casual conversation, looking back at all the CGG episodes from 2023, and then using their mouths to create sounds that are often- but not always- words, and then the goal here is that you like the words they say, which are again, inspired from them looking at past episodes and should potentially encapsulate feelings about said episodes. It's, this is a year in review. With a relaxed if not cozy vibe. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul discuss things, using words. Mangia!
Okay fine. They talk about interfaces, gooey's and unique game mechanics! What do I mean? Unclear! Okay okay, for starters, gooey is neat for GUI's which is less nerdy for Graphical User Interfaces. And by interfaces I mean Text Parser, 9 Verb, 2-Click, Sierra Point and Click, Verb Coin and maybe more. And by unique mechanics, well they look at innovative gameplay mechanics used in adventures games such as Resonance, Whispers of a Machine and others- look at some point you're just gonna have to listen to it, this is as far as I can ..read more
