The Secret of Monkey Island

Secret of Monkey Island on video game podcast

The Secret of Monkey Island is a classic 1990 adventure game from the once reigning kings of the adventure genre, Lucasarts. Guybrush Threepwood wants to be a pirate, but first he needs to save the mayor, take down a ghost pirate LeChuck, and solve some ridiculous puzzles. Spar enemies with insults, find ways through the island, and have a rollicking pirate adventure.

Iconoclasts

Iconoclasts is a 2018 puzzle platformer in the Metroidvania tradition, developed over the course of many, many years by Joakim “Konjak” Sandberg. Play as Robin, your silent protagonist, and fight back against the agents of the One Concern with nothing but your trusty wrench. Oh yeah, and, it’s possible you’ll have to stop the end of the world too. You know. As you do.
