Episode 19 - Programmed Action

It's February, and we're releasing a new episode, just as we planned to do several months ago. Speaking of planning things in advance, this month we're talking about programmed action games! Join us as...

• • We discuss a smartphone app for a very old game (with a very old-school website)
  • A discussion of Yaquinto's Album Games requires Frank and Brian to explain to the younglings what an "album" is...
  • We drool over Lego Super Robo Rally and River Dragons Giant and Mechs vs. Minions (which, contrary to what we say in the episode, is still available for $75!)
  • We have an interview with another game designer...but it's just Frank.
  • Joe creates a bizarre hybrid of two great game designers.

Apologies for Frank's audio - it sounds a bit like he's caught in a matter transference beam, but we promise he's fine.

A few other links to things we mention that you might find interesting:

• The World War I Gotha bomber
• Realmspeak, for all your Magic Realm automation needs
• Baba Is You

As always, we appreciate your listening and would love to hear your comments on any or all of these items, and especially a review on iTunes if you have the time and inclination!
