The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast
The Obligatory Movie Game Podcast is an excuse to play licensed video games and give them their (usually undeserved) moment in the spotlight. Host Devon Dozlaw, and a rotating cast of guest co-hosts, watch the films and TV shows that these cash grab video games are ostensibly based on, suffer through the tie-ins, and then sit down to discuss how well the developers honoured their respective licenses, making fun of the games whenever possible.

OMGP: The Pagemaster
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. Still, with a staggering number of levels, and a reasonable difficulty level that keeps the game fun, Pagemaster allows young players to get lost in its literary worlds, if only for a spell
