G'day, I'm back with a new video!!

This one is a bit weird, and will sort of explain why I am not doing as many videos as I used to. Basically I am going to talk about something I find very interesting and that is the continuing growth of retro gaming, specifically adventure gaming.

This video is going to be like my retrospective video on the arcade era, as in in some ways it is just a video blog. Still I think there is some cool stuff in here and I feel the "article" came out pretty well. I am keen to hear your thoughts on this, as this is less a review and more a editorial or article you might get with a magazine.

Anyway, I'll also be talking about retro gaming on modern hardware, like smart phones and pads. Demonstrating on my phone and pad the ScummVM and DosBox ports as well as even awesome Z-Machine emulator that is a shockingly fantastic way to play text adventures.

I'll be showing off point and click adventures like Full Throttle, Discworld and Quest for Glory 4, as well as showing surprisingly great ports of text input adventures like Quest for Glory 2, Zork, Leather Bound Goddesses of Phobos and PlanetFall.

So I hope you like this vid and more "normal" stuff is planned and on the way. I would just like to take a sec to say thanks for all the comments on my vids and chan and all your support. I really appreciate it and hope to get more content to you guys as soon as I can.

Remember, Save often and Save Early
Happy Adventuring
