The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast

Episode 62: This week Paul takes us through some of the most absurd and bizarre games that were ever published. We invite you to sit back, relax and marvel at that fact that hard work and actual money went into making games that let you the player- be a slave to a boy band, fight crime with dance as a pop-star, fall down a toilet and dodge fecal matter to stay alive, play a clown that beats up bab...

Ultima 7 is regarded by many as one of if not actually the best RPGs of all time. But is this just nostalgia speaking? What would it be like to play it today? Paul played a bit of it recently in preparation for the Richard Garriott interview, which he unfortunately missed, but it would be a shame to let that research go to waste.

It is November 2019, which means that Blade Runner is now a present-day documentary! Back in the late 90s, people regarded the PC game adaptation as the last great point and click adventure game.
