The Sega Saturn

We've had a good chat about the Jaguar (and Jaguar CD) so now it's time to turn to Keith's wunderconsole - The Sega Saturn! Did it sell as well as it should have? No. Why? We attempt to find out whilst simultaneously paying homage to an oft misunderstood console. And yes, its successor does get a mention...

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - LucasArts Adventure Game

We've mentioned it before but now it's finally time to pay homage to one of the greatest Point and Click games ever made.

Hal Barwood's Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis gets the full AA treatment. Adrian talks us through his love of the game, how it's taken 20 years to complete it (hint: its difficulty has nothing to do with this) and also treats us to a lovely Indy quiz which you can play along to at home/on the train/on the bus/in your garage staying away from your irate partner...

Once you're done - why not check out our written interviews with Hal Barwood and Noah Falstein!

Games Into Movies - What's the Point?

OK, so the sound issues aren't completely fixed but it's almost there! To mark the release of another naff looking Tomb Raider film (and Dylan's return) we get talking about what exactly is the point of turning game franchises into movies. We even talk about current gen gaming. Deep.

Creating the Music for Turrican - Chris Huelsbeck Interview (VGM Legend)

Tommy Tallarico - Interview - VGM Legend: Earthworm Jim, Aladdin & The Terminator

He's true gaming royalty and has worked on over 300 video games since the 90s which is quite frankly staggering! The Virgin Games back catalogue that introduced us to gaming (Terminator, Aladdin, Cool Spot etc...) had his name written all over it. And who could forget his work on Earthworm Jim! It's a pleasure to introduce Adrian's interview with Tommy Tallarico...

Theme Park (Bullfrog)

Sincere apologies for the sound quality - something went a bit wrong with the file export! Rob tells a tale of a game that gave the player far too much power. Spike the fries, refuse to build any toilets, the choice is yours as you create your own Theme Park...

One of the integral cogs in the SEGA machine of the early 90s, his work ensured that a certain blue hedgehog made the impact he did. Enjoy 90 mins of retro bliss!

Controversial Gaming Opinions

Have we gone mad? Rob thought it best to prise our most "controversial" gaming opinions out so we can all have a massive argument, er, I mean debate. Zool cooler than Sonic? Keith hates Mario (well, not quite, but...) and Dylan has a massive chip on his shoulder about current gen gaming (there's a surprise). All this and more in a quite barmy episode. Hopefully everyone's still in one piece in time for next week (for our 50th pod special, don't miss it, it's a cracker!).

Weird Dreams (Amiga)

To say Weird Dreams is weird is an understatement. Adrian tells us more about this hidden gem that quite frankly we all want to have a go on now! Giant wasps, bushes with teeth and little girls with steak knives are all in store for the AA crew as we take a closer look...

Devil May Cry - Establishing a Genre

We thought we'd kick off the new year with a bang! Dylan takes the AA crew down memory lane and a franchise often put to the back of the games drawer. Needless to say, DMC brought new meaning to the word "cool". The PS2 games (1-3) feature heavily, along with our thoughts for the future of the franchise.
