GeekBits Podcast Episode 4 - How D&D influenced computer games.
Added 2021-09-05 16:57:59 +0000 UTCIn this podcast, we discuss our early experiences with Dungeons and Dragons both as computer games and as the tabletop version, combined with the complex issues of our super-religious parents.

ADOM (Ancient Domains of Mystery) on DOS PCs was a total D&D game, was very popular, and they keep releasing new versions that is the exact same game with updated graphics. I got it recently from GOG and it is still fun to play!

2021-09-25 21:59:48 +0000 UTCWhen the Lone Wolf game books came out in the 80s, there was also some religious "concern" about them. I noticed one of my books momentarily disappeared, so I'm assuming my parents took a look at it. They never said anything about it, so I guess they didn't find anything really wrong about it (typical good vs evil fantasy).

2021-09-07 15:42:40 +0000 UTCI started with this episode and wound up listening to all four over the long weekend. You all (unsurprisingly) have great chemistry and your shared history adds a nice dash of intimacy. I'm looking forward to seeing what other topics you all will cover in the future. I'm also curious to know if you're thinking about doing interviews with people involved in the history of gaming, tech, etc. Your "history of Texas tech" series was great and it seems like there could be a natural cross-section to explore there.
