Here's an episode of the Computer Chronicles from 1992 that features a mini-review of Space Quest IV. The whole show is rather interesting, but too bad SQIV got so little air-time, and that audio is only on the left!

 

And did you know? In Windows 3.1, if a program crashes, it can be removed separately and not take down the whole system like in 3.0. Thanks, Paul Schindler, for giving me a funny Win 3.1 BSOD to view.

The shows host irritates me probably (at no fault of his own) to lack of time. But his comments to hurry along the games commentator grind my gears.

Yeah, while still a pretty good host and journalist, Stewart Chefeit does that a lot, and it bugs me too. His cohost, the legendary Gary Kildall of Digital Research and CP/M fame, is much more laid back.

"Yeah Yeah so you can move around and explore - usual adventure game stuff". He might as well have just shouted "NEXT!!!"

 

I am not aware of Stewart Chefeit over here in the UK, but he feigns the sort of interest my Dad used to display when I started passionately describing the intricate storyline of my favourite games back when I was a kid. I was doing everything to try and sell this as ART to him but his mind was locked onto "Er yeah its a game". That being said Stewart Chefeit was probably an awesome journalist when the subject matter actually intrigued him.
