Ep 16: The Original Mighty Magical Blobber

Episode 16 – The Original Mighty Magical Blobber

Step back to 1986 as we dive into Might and Magic I: The Secret of the Inner Sanctum, Jon Van Caneghem’s ambitious solo project that helped define the CRPG genre. We explore its origins, the massive world it created, its unique blend of fantasy and sci-fi, and how it stood apart from contemporaries like Wizardry and Ultima. We also take a look at the curious NES port that brought the game to console players in the early ‘90s.

Plus, we share a more personal side of the conversation: everyone’s favorite comfort game—the ones we turn to when we need a familiar adventure to relax with.
