Paul and Anna join composer Ken Allen to break down the making of the SpaceVenture soundtrack.
They cover how the themes formed, how narrative direction played into the score, and how his Sierra-era work continues to guide his approach.
Music from SpaceVenture runs through the episode.

Just shared a new CGG podcast episode where I talk with Sean Parker about Fogtown, a puppet noir FMV game that’s been in the works for years.
We covered how it evolved, what goes into making live-action games today, and closed with a tribute to Roberta Vaughan, who believed in this project from the beginning.
Thoughtful, creative, and full of heart.

This week Paul played Sierra's black sheep, what some call the rite, or maybe right, of passage for the clinically obsessed adventure gamer... it's Codename: Iceman. He's gonna walk you through it so you don't have to play it, while switching vehemently between 'you should play it' and 'you absolutely should not'- it's quite a rollercoster of confused emotions and misguided angst. Honestly, I think he... I think he actually had FUN?! Also Anna is sick, please bombard her with messages about drinking more water. Mangia! Iceman Save Game Files Play our adventure game!

🎙️ New Classic Gamers Guild episode just dropped:
Adventurous Non-Adventure Games
What makes a game feel like an adventure, even when it technically isn’t?
Anna defends Dragon Age and Heroes of Might and Magic as having the “heart” of adventure. Paul says strategy makes him recoil and that Spider-Man is just lore pretending to be story.
🧠 “Adventure games make you live the story. Other games just tell it to you.”

This week Anna & Paul are talking about Thimbleweed Park and Paul says "to those listening" a lot, which is weird because that's everyone. But besides that it’s actually pretty listenable and it serves as a comprehensive* review of a modern classic. Mangia!
