Hey there, Blockers!

Here’s episode 73, where I discuss the 1995 Origin Systems action series, Crusader.

As always, I go into the genre, story and gameplay. We also delve into the game’s tech specs and engine before talking a bit about the history and definition of tracker music.

After some great listener emails and voicemails, I give my thoughts about whether or not the game holds up.

It's time for episode 75 where I discuss the 1998 Lucasarts strategy game, Star Wars: Rebellion.

First, I've been off so I've been playing games and watching TV so I talk about that a bit.

Check out the interesting little programming puzzle game TIS-100:

Also I quickly discuss the AMC series Halt and Catch Fire:

We then get to Rebellion, where we discuss the story, tons about the gameplay, tech focus, dev story, some emails and voicemails and of course my opinion as to whether or not it holds up.

Here's episode 77 where I dive deep into the 1998 BioWare RPG, Baldur's Gate.

We get into the details of not only the history of the game, but also the creation of the Dungeons and Dragons campaign setting that hosts it. This is a big one!
