This week Anna & Paul are talking about non-adventure games, for some reason. Oh, Paul was supposed to say, for his first pick, "Astro Chicken" and he formally regrets forgetting this very so-so joke. See cos, that's in an adventure game and so it represents his hesitation to embrace anything outside of the adventure genre. 

I'm glad I explained it, it's for sure funnier now. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul sampled some of the exciting new old games that just recently released: King's Quest - It Takes Two To Tangle, Space Quest V - Talkie Edition, and King's Quest VI - AGI Demake. They sampled all of them, and then talk about weird Canadian sandwiches. And possibly the games too, I don't know, you tell me. Mangia!

This week Anna and Paul are ranking some adventure games that weren't made by Sierra or LucasArts. If Paul got his way this episode is called I Have No Willy And I Must Beamish, but I'm guessing it's prolly something clunky and annoyingly descriptive. Anyway this was fun, Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are ranking Sierra Point And Clicks, AGAIN! This time they do it even more betterly. That's not true, it's still pretty cavalier if not lawless, but this time it's the titles released in 1993-1996. Ish. What game comes out on top? Totally forgot. For sure a Sierra one though. Mangia!
