[Lego Batman voice] First try!
I’m back from my holidays to record The Electronic Wireless Showpodcastonce again, and I’ve brought a reader email and a new tattoo of Murray from Monkey Island with me. These are both relevant, because the email from James suggests that we talk about the games that we’d like to play for the first time again - just erase them from our heads and encounter them anew. Thus, we discuss Lucasarts games like theMonkey Islandseries. See, I tied it all together.

LinksJames the listener suggestsOuter Wildsas a great game to play for the first time again, and Matthew agrees.
I bring up puzzle games as candidates for this, because they don’t have a load of - if you’ll forgive the term - replayability. Like the more recentEscape Academy, or the aforementioned island of monkeys.
Nate would erase all of the Civ series, with the specific aim of being able to playCivilization Vfor the first time again.
I’d love to playMass Effect 2again, because of that bit where you do the thing and meet the person. You know. That bit.
Nate almost saysHorizon Zero Dawn, but instead decides on Minecraft.
Matthew points out thatHitmanis a game of levels that are lovely to explore for the first time (but he’d want to keep all his progress intact, which would be confusing).
We don’t talk aboutPortalbut just pretend we did.
Here’s myMurray tattoo.
