This week Anna & Paul sampled some of the exciting new old games that just recently released: King's Quest - It Takes Two To Tangle, Space Quest V - Talkie Edition, and King's Quest VI - AGI Demake.

This week Anna and Paul are ranking some adventure games that weren't made by Sierra or LucasArts. If Paul got his way this episode is called I Have No Willy And I Must Beamish, but I'm guessing it's prolly something clunky and annoyingly descriptive.

This week Anna & Paul are ranking Sierra Point And Clicks, AGAIN! This time they do it even more betterly.
