0:09.0	And we chat to one of the world's longest running Amiga retailers, Matthew from Amiga Kim.
0:15.0	And the rest of the world's brought to you every week with our incredible mates at Bitmap Books.
0:29.9	Now, one of my favourite books they've ever done, the art of point-and-click adventure games.
0:34.8	Now, I'm a huge fan of old-school point-and-clicks.
0:37.1	If you are as well,
0:38.1	this celebrates everything about that genre, packed with gorgeous imagery from the golden era

It's a roundtable chat. It's just three mates getting together. We ain't experts. We just give our opinions on a couple of games. And then the best part is we
1:44.4	interview a couple of industry legends at the end as well, don't we? That is it. Or live in the dream, because when we set this podcast up, it's like the idea is, you know, we get to talk to the people who made the video games that we grew up playing. That was a big focus of the show. And it's expanded so much since we started doing the podcast, and magazines, we cover retailers, which can be talking about this week as well,
