This week Em and I start Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon.
This really was the first big game for me, the one that started it all. It's fun to see what I remember, when I remember split seconds before it happens, and things that I completely forgot about.
SQ3 is such a massive evolution over the previous games, it's truly wild. Sound effects, polyphonic music, a parser that pauses the game while you type. And not to mention now our death sequences are lovingly rendered and the descriptions are accompanied by actual graphics.
And then... Arnold.
Hope you enjoy watching as much as we did recording this ep!
