This week, I look at my favorite CRPG from the early 80s, Jeff McCord's Sword of Fargoal. SoF was a hit on both the Commodore VIC-20 (1982) and the Commodore 64 (1983), and it looks set to re-emerge as an iPhone masterpiece. The show features a Skype interview with Jeff McCord himself, who I interviewed earlier for my book Dungeons & Desktops and who graciously agreed to appear in Matt Chat. Enjoy!
