Bonus Episode: Myst, Riven, and Pajama Sam 90s Adventure Game Extravaganza
By thatpinguino 5 Comments
Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!
In this bonus episode I'm joined by @zombiepie to discuss a stupid bet we made and 90s adventure games. The first half of the podcast covers Myst and Riven, two games that simultaneously made adventure games mainstream and helped to kill the 90s adventure game boom. The second half of the episode discusses the criminally under-appreciated Pajama Sam games and how they still manage to hold up to modern scrutiny. Our FFVIII odyssey is coming soon!
