💾NEW PODCAST!💾 Back when we started out in 2017, one of our earliest members @toasty (being a keen cricket fan) asked "are there any cricket games for DOS?".
It turns out: there are! Lots of them, in fact.
We dove into the wacky world of DOS cricket and explored what's there.
Don't know how cricket even works? No worries, neither do we!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Can you believe we're 90 episodes into this show and still haven't done Lemmings??
Lemmings (DMA Design / Psygnosis, 1991) was a massive hit, allegedly selling over 15M copies over the span of its lifetime on various platforms.
And those were many platforms indeed! There's barely a system out there which doesn't have a version of Lemmings.
But we of course focus on the DOS port, which still holds up well even today.

💾 NEW PODCAST💾 Do you like first-person shooters? But also like point & click adventure games? Lots of FMV cutscenes? A haunted mansion? Magic? Ghosts? Inter-dimensional portals?
REALMS OF THE HAUNTING (1996, Gremlin/Interplay) checks all these boxes, and much more!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 A while ago we looked at The Secret of Donkey Island (yes with a D).
This 1994 parody game made by two teenagers from Czech Republic became a surprise local hit. Now, almost 30 years later, an English translation has been made and it's available for free!
If that's not a great reason to check this out now, we don't know what is.

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 Back in August (welp) we played Jazz Jackrabbit (Epic MegaGames, 1994), the first game featuring the cartoon bunny hero that became a PC gaming mascot.
This game is a technological marvel no doubt, but is it fun to play?
Find out by listening now!

💾 NEW PODCAST! 💾 We dove into ALIEN LEGACY, developed by Ybarra Productions and published by Sierra On-Line in 1994.
This game is all about space colony simulation/management, but uniquely combined with an interesting narrative.
Check it out!

💾 NEW PODCAST!💾 A while ago we held a poll here on Mastodon asking for a non-Lucas adventure game to play, and the winner was Beneath a Steel Sky (Revolution Software, 1994).
So that's what we're looking at in this episode!
