This week Anna & Paul sit down with Eugene Sandulenko, the project leader for ScummVM!

Join us as we dive into the code behind our favorite games and reverse engineer Full Throttle, port Monkey Island to the Nintendo Game Cube, re-write Sierra’s SCI engine and much more!   If you’ve spent hours enjoying adventure games via ScummVM, please consider showing Eugene some support! https://www.patreon.com/_sev Download ScummVM!

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.
