Episode 49:
Ballblazer & Rescue on Fractalus!
Thanks for bearing with us as we took the month of June off. It’s great to finally be back, and we’re looking forward to so many more great games this year! First off, it was so fun to finally go back and play these two games. Reminded us of why we started MOLMF in the first place. Secondly, we spent some extra time this episode talking about what’s going on in the country (and world) today, and what we’re doing to address some of those issues personally—hopefully you appreciate the transparency.
Thanks for coming along the the ride. We’d love to hear your thoughts on it!
We start off talking about why we took a month off and what we want to do differently going forward, then we eventually get into the development and gameplay of both games (25:30). We have our first ever commercial (53:45), then of course we play a lovely round of “What’s The Beer/Drink? What’s The Song?” (58:00), and end things talking about what else we’ve been playing (65:15), and what we’ll by playing next month for our 50TH GAME!!!! Get psyched.
Here’s the website to the Black Game Developers website we mentioned, as well as Salman Shurie’s Twitter, and our past interview with David Fox.

Notes
- That book we keep mentioning is Rogue Leaders: The Story of LucasArts by Rob Smith, and it’s a fantastic overview of the history of LucasArts with thousands of stories and illustrations. I always learn something new every time I open it up.
- Ben’s drink was his classic Soft Drink Suicide and his song was “State of the Art” by Gotye
- Jason’s drink was Brooklyn Brewing’s Sorachi Ace and his song was “goonies vs. E.T.” by Run The Jewels
