This week Anna & Paul are talking about what it means to be human and to have played Blade Runner, the 1997 Adventure Game. This was a fun conversation that ranges from what a voxel actual is to the philosophical implications behind the questions that Blade Runner asks. And all from the differing perspectives of Anna, who is a newcomer to the IP and from Paul, who is a lifetime fan and Phillip K Dick about it. Mangia!

This week Anna & Paul are comparing the original* AGI King’s Quest with the SCI remake. It's part of our EGA vs VGA Sierra Comparison series except the King's Quest remake is still in EGA so technically it's- look it's all very nerdy and pedantic. Point is, a game was made, then it was remade and we're going to be the vessel in which you vicariously experience playing both through. Mangia!

*So we both played the 1987 remake of the original 1984 PCjr release so really you could argue we're more comparing the remake to the remake but the original remake- of which the remake was based off of, isn't much of a remake, it's more a ported and patched version of that original boot disk version from the PCjr.

I hope this didn't accidentally make sense.
