Consequence, Comfort & Modern Adventure Games

Consequence, Comfort & Modern Adventure Games

Author: Anna & Paul June 6, 2023 Duration: 1:16:01
This week Anna & Paul look at how Sierra and LucasArts approached making their games, the role of an adventure game and how consequence fell out of favor, with modern adventure games largely adapting the comfort approach to game play.

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.
