Jonah survived the cold snap, and everything is okay – we think. There’s not much to this podcast except for the extensive discussions on completely unrelated topics.
The news this week includes:
- The Chinese Room gearing up to announce a new game
- “Who wouldn’t want to take on” Baldur’s Gate 3, says former Bioware writer
- New rumor has Forza Motorsport 6 and Forza Horizon 3 coming to Windows 10
- id Software: DOOM reboot single player campaign around 13 hours
Question of the Week: “What is your favorite FPS?”
Now here is another interesting video game for the Atari 2600, the game Dragon Fire consisted of two game screens, one which you ran across a bridge while fireballs were shot at you, you had to duck or jump over the fireball. This screen was a side-scroller style screen (although it doesn’t actually scroll), at the other end of the bridge was a castle door which you’d enter to get to the next screen.
When you finished collecting all the treasure an exit would pop up in the corner and you had to run to it without being burned by the fireballs, that dragon would turn from left to right nearly instantly too! Then, you’d jump into the exit and be back on the bridge again, but this time it was harder. You could die up to 7 times before the game was over (just to show you how hard it is, they gave you a bunch of lives).
