World 1 Stage 1

World 1 Stage 1 is a podcast talking about classic games. Largely unavailable classics. It’s also a podcast about three guys going wildly off topic. If hearing Another World, Sam and Max or Monkey Island makes you smile then you need to listen.

 

Hosted by: Simon Aplin, Troy Small and Jack Homer

Many of you asked for a Zelda episode, but this will have to do.

(Apologies for the occasionally poor sound quality. Apparently we have cabling issues.)

w1s1-episode-29-dark-forces-jedi-knight

You’d think, given the title, that this is the show in which our heroes delve into the topic that is Star Wars: Dark Forces and its’ Jedi Knight sequels.

You’d think that. Yes… that would be a reasonable assumption.

You’ll have to listen to find out if it’s true or not, though.

With W1S1 HQ moving the show has been thrown into disarray. These tidbits were dredged from the detritus, however and we hope they prove sufficient to scratch your itch.

Episode 27 in which our valiant heroes professionally and intelligently debate the merits of one of the greatest-

Actually I can’t do it. I can’t say it with a straight face.

We talk about Worms. For a bit. Then, well, all I can say is I’m sorry. Really, really sorry.

W1S1 – Episode 26 – Civilization

w1s1-episode-26-civilization

In which our heroes, a week late, gather in reenforced numbers to discuss the Sid Meier’s world-conquering epic that is Civilization. Will more people mean more insightful commentary? Or more off-topic banter? There’s only one way to know for certain.

W1S1 – Episode 24 – The Filler Show

w1s1-episode-24-the-filler-show

You would not believe the difficulties the W1S1 crew have encountered in attempting to make a simple hour-long audio show in the last few weeks. I would explain them here but it would be futile. As I already pointed out, you would not believe me. Thus, in desperation, following yet another technical failure and given vicious time constraints before they are scattered to whole different countries for a week, Simon, Troy and Zoë sat down to put something, anything on record for you, our listeners.

And this is it. Half an hour or so of unedited madness from deep within the bowels of W1S1 HQ. In all its… glory?

You have been warned.
