This is awful news. I discovered his YouTube channel a few months ago, and made sure to leave a comment about how much his music in Dune and Lost Eden meant to me. Was cool to get a response from him.

This is such a bummer. Only 59 to, way to young. RIP Mr. Picq

Hey man,

I’m new here myself but wanted to say that’s awesome. I never knew Aldi sold computers at some point! That’s wild!

I did a bunch of gaming as well on all those old versions of Windows! There was so many amazing games back then. It’s so wild to see how many of the same games captivated all of us back when we were younger, and how much staying power those old games have with all of us.

Perhaps it’s just a generational thing, but I don’t think there are many games that come out today, that we will be talking about 30 years from now. I’m guessing that’s just a generational thing, but I think the games we grew up with, were so much more creative than most of what we see today

Awesome. I was worried since I didn’t see anything past April 2024 it might be done.

I’ve been listening to them in order and absolutely loving it

I enjoyed the sequel a ton. It really brought the story full circle I felt

My memories of this game are much more recent. I am a HUGE fan of the Broken Sword series, and wondered if Revolution Software made any other games besides the Broken Sword games, so when I saw Beneath A Steel Sky, I had to play it!

Great story, excellent gameplay (for a point n click) I felt the ending was a tad sudden and abrupt, but the journey was what mattered.

Then, I just had to play the recent sequel, Beyond A Steel Sky, and I personally enjoyed it greatly and felt it brought the story full circle.

I look forward to the podcast discussing this great classic DOS game!

I wish!! I use Dos Box, I’d love to come across an old PC though.

Back in the day I gamed on an NEC Power Player 2020. Absolutely loved that thing. I’d so love to use one of those again.

Thank you Tiger!

I just love video games in general. I love the industry, especially the history of the industry. Even more so today because I think the gains of today’s tech, don’t outweigh what’s been lost. Which is just that creative spark. Today’s industry just tries to churn out game after game and it just feels like a soulless machine and that really bugs me.

Thankfully, between retro PC games, and all my retro consoles, I’m set for the rest of my life. I will happily just live in the past! To be able to discuss these classics with fellow gamers who share that passion is just icing on the cake!
