Well-Versed In The Classics - A Video Game and PC Game Podcast

The Sega Dreamcast! Fifteen years after the Sega Dreamcast's launch, there still hasn't been a system with a game library quite like that of Sega's final home console. WVITC returns to take a look at the Dreamcast's greatest hits, misses, and many of the games in between which helped to ensure the system's place in the hearts of players around the world. Stop by Tom's Hot Dogs for a bite to eat, and don't forget to study up on the Four Wude, because we won't stop until we find Lan Di! Please visit us at http://wellversedintheclassics.blogspot.com/

Video Game Magazines! Prior to the internet's explosion in popularity, video game magazines were an indispensable part of gaming culture. From reviews to previews, cheat codes to reader mail, they helped foster a common language of video games and created awareness of a larger gaming community. In this episode, we focus on the gaming magazines that had an impact on us growing up, and also take a look at the future of the medium and its new wave of print-on-demand publications.

The Mana/Seiken Densetsu Series! Formerly one of Square's flagship properties, the Mana/Seiken Densetsu series began on the Game Boy but is best known for the 1993 smash SNES hit Secret of Mana. Each subsequent game in the series has struggled in the shadow of that landmark title, but they admirably tried to do something different while creating a consistent "World of Mana" between them. Even the Square USA-developed and Mana-inspired Secret of Evermore managed to stand apart, thanks to smart writing and a presentation designed to appeal to Western audiences. In this episode, we take a look at each of the major entries in this revered-yet-divisive series and offer our thoughts on its enduring popularity.

Scary Games Feature! In terms of delivering shocks, scares and suspense to audiences, electronic games have proven that they can be just as effective as whatever's playing at the local cineplex. In this episode, thrills and chills await as spooky game aficionado Ty drops by to help us discuss the games that go out of their way to make players as uncomfortable as possible, yet keep them coming back for more. Just be sure to keep your sanity meter topped up while you listen, or else who knows what might happen? Please visit us at http://wellversedintheclassics.blogspot.com/

The hallways at the show might have been narrow, but the range of discussion in this show is not! Plus, join us at the end for a special auditory journey back to 1986.
