Game suggestions for the podcast

[ratsoalbion]

All on the list, but actually not many of those have been played by more than one or two of the team in each case (or, if they have they're not necessarily that interested in revisiting or talking about them anyway).

Definitely all games/series I would love to cover though so the potential is there.

[Beck]

I'd really like to hear your thoughts on the Banner Saga games. Also Darkest Dungeon would be a great listen, if not already on the list

[ratsoalbion]

I think those games are on the list, but I'll double check.

[ThirdDrawing]

I really don't want to add to your already enormous pile......but I have to ask.

Are any of the D&D goldbox games by SSI (Pool of Radiance, Champions of Krynn) etc. on there?

How about the Bard's Tale series? Phantasie? Defender of the Crown?

I don't know if any of you had C64s or played on them. Just curious.

[ratsoalbion]

All of the Cinemaware games are on the list, as for the others you mention, I don't think so (yet).

[nickturner13]

I think pretty much all of the Sierra games - old and new - are on the long list. I got to be honest though there doesn't seem to be a lot of interest among the team.

For what it's worth, I would love a few Sierra episodes. Police Quest and Space Quest game were my favourite games when i was growing up! I loved the seriousness of them (PQ) yet the abstract comedy (SQ).

Games I remember so well to this day.

[ratsoalbion]

I think the trouble is that I don't think we have anyone in the team who was a devotee back in the day.

This could lead to a show that was lacking affection and less understanding of their modern day 'shortcomings'.

We'd rather not make a show than be dismissive and risk offending the fans.

[Flabyo]

I played a few of them at the time, but I never loved them. They were always 'something I play while I wait for the next Lucasarts game'.

They also weren't that well known in Europe, being primarily PC lead series at a time before the PC had much of a foothold here. (yes, they had Amiga and ST ports most of the time, but I don't recall seeing them on the shelves much)

[Todinho]

Ok so Im still at the beginning of this game and I dont know if it's already on the list but I finnished chapter 1 of Tatics Ogre Let us Cling Together and the podcast has to cover this game! The things this game does and the subjects that it tackles would be outstanding nowadays but it came out in 1995! I think the discussion that can be have around it would be great,I mean I know there`s interest on the team to cover FF tactics at least but please consider covering this as well, I think this one is probably even more interesting to talk about.

[ratsoalbion]

I'm not sure that we have many Tactics Ogre devotees among the team, but we have some who enjoy JTBS type games, plus regular irregular contributor The Sonic Mole is definitely fan.

I will add the series to the list for sure.

Only Persons of Lordly Caliber need apply.

[Alex79]

Is the original Grand Theft Auto on the list? That'd make for a good episode. Kinda surprising it's never been re-released really on PSN.

[ratsoalbion]

Of course it is, along with GTA London and GTA 2.

[DaveParky84]

Did anyone play Galleon on the original Xbox? It's a 3D platformer with a lot of charm and character, Some good puzzles and generally a lot of fun to play. It perhaps felt more like a N64 game at the time which I think is why it didn't sell very well but I still love it. Would love to hear a podcast on it someday.

[ratsoalbion]

That rarest of things, a brand new suggestion. I have added it to the long list!

Thanks Dave.

[Alex79]

Some suggestions which I'd put money on already being on the list:

Rainbow Islands
New Zealand Story
Road Rash

[Suits]

Some suggestions which I'd put money on already being on the list:

Rainbow Islands
New Zealand Story
Road Rash

I'd expect Rainbow Island & New Zealand Story to be on the list somewhere but I know I've mentioned Road Rash in the past and I'm certain I couldn't have been the first .

Such found memories of those first two Mega Drive games. I even read the Sega Power, short story novel which I used as a book project in year 5 (1993 ).

[ratsoalbion]

All already on the list, as you rightly suspected.

[ThirdDrawing]

Are the Silent Scope games on the list?

[ratsoalbion]

I don't believe they are... will rectify.

Only one of the team has a CRT though, and you seldom see the coin-ops any more, so playing them (properly) now is next to impossible...
