Shownotes Transcript

Hosts Mat Bradley-Tschirgi, William Thrasher, and special guest Brock Wilbur (co-author of Postal from Boss Fight Books)) discuss Mission Asteroid, the third adventure game released by Sierra under their original name On-Line Systems.

Meant to be a shorter and cheaper adventure game aimed at new players, Mission Asteroid has a science-fiction theme. An asteroid is going to smash into Earth, and you have to blast off into space, set off explosives to change the asteroid's course, and save your home planet once and for all! The parser and puzzles are as obtuse as ever, but the shorter length allows for a more focused game than the overstuffed Wizard and the Princess.
