We're unabashed in our love of Maniac Mansion and other early LucasArts adventure games. So it shouldn't be a surprise that we jumped all over the Thimbleweed Park Kickstarter when it was announced. And we were right to do so, because Ron Gilbert, Gary Winnick, and company have made something truly great in Thimbleweed Park. It feels right at home with those older games, but has a level of complexity and care that makes it feel very modern too. It's a delight to talk about something so special.<a rel="payment" href="http://patreon.com/duckfeedtv">Support Watch Out for Fireballs!</a>Links:<ul><li><a title="Phantasmagoria Trailer - YouTube" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW_d04W8QWY">Phantasmagoria Trailer - YouTube</a></li><li><a title="Assassin's Creed Origins tourism mode announced | Rock, Paper, Shotgun" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/09/27/assassins-creed-origins-tourism-mode/">Assassin's Creed Origins tourism mode announced | Rock, Paper, Shotgun</a></li><li><a title="The Odd Couple Act 2 Scene 2 Pigeon Sisters - YouTube" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=in1t25uMdyM">The Odd Couple Act 2 Scene 2 Pigeon Sisters - YouTube</a></li><li><a title="Ghost Master - Trailer 2003 - YouTube" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqMj9BToXuU">Ghost Master - Trailer 2003 - YouTube</a></li><li><a title="PT 109 (1963) Trailer.- JFK during World War Two - YouTube" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5Ncfw_7n4A">PT 109 (1963) Trailer.- JFK during World War Two - YouTube</a></li><li><a title="Thimbleweed Park - Thimblecon '87 T-shirt - Fangamer" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.fangamer.com/products/thimbleweed-park-thimblecon-87">Thimbleweed Park - Thimblecon '87 T-shirt - Fangamer</a></li></ul>
