For this episode of the Obligatory Movie Game Podcast, Sam and Bart join Devon to chat about The Pagemaster for SEGA Genesis. The different horror, fantasy and adventure settings lend themselves well to a video game, and there are no shortage of baddies from the film that are rendered in vibrant 16 bit graphics. However, many of the best characters from the film have been all but erased, and the game basically assumes the player is already familiar with the Pagemaster film, since it doesn’t even attempt to provide any plot details, or even dialogue.
