In Episode Six of The MicroProse Podcast, Dann and Nanci explore game development, music, and voice acting in the context of Darkenstein 3D.

This episode’s Featured Guests are Rowye and Jake ‘The Voice’ Parr, who will be talking about their new game, Darkenstein 3D.

The Mystery Segment is called Voice Off and it is nothing like Face/off. 

Game Reviews includes some highlights from Darkenstein’s Steam page, followed by a discussion about Ron Gilbert’s recent game, Death by Scrolling.

FEATURED GAME

Darkenstein 3D is a retro shooter inspired by classics like Wolfenstein and Doom. Think of it as a tribute to the games that defined a generation, with a few modern touches. It’s tough, fast, and demands skill, just like those old-school shooters.
