Codename: Iceman (it's actually kinda good?!)

Author: Anna & Paul July 22, 2025 Duration: 1:31:54
This week Paul played Sierra's black sheep, what some call the rite, or maybe right, of passage for the clinically obsessed adventure gamer... it's Codename: Iceman. He's gonna walk you through it so you don't have to play it, while switching vehemently between 'you should play it' and 'you absolutely should not'- it's quite a rollercoster of confused emotions and misguided angst. Honestly, I think he... I think he actually had FUN?!    Also Anna is sick, please bombard her with messages about drinking more water. Mangia!   Iceman Save Game Files    Play our adventure game!

Anna and Paul invite you to join their table for The Classic Gamers Guild Podcast, a conversation born from a shared love of adventure games. This isn't a formal review show or a strategy guide, but more like overhearing two friends deep in discussion after a gaming session. Each episode delves into the worlds of point-and-click classics, graphic adventures, and modern titles that carry the spirit of the genre. You'll hear them unpack puzzles, celebrate clever writing, critique frustrating mechanics, and reminisce about the characters and stories that left a mark. The charm of this podcast lies in the hosts' genuine enthusiasm and their personal connection to these games, offering both nostalgic trips for longtime fans and accessible entry points for newcomers curious about these narrative-rich experiences. Tune in for thoughtful, meandering, and often humorous explorations of what makes adventure games uniquely compelling.
