I actually grew up with Red Dwarf too, despite being American. And by “grew up with it”, I mean grew up around it and watched it properly when I was a bit older. Short version: parents found it late one night and recorded on a whim, which sent my older brother down the Dwarf rabbit hole.

20:33 Fun fact. I actually used this solution to break back into my house once when I was locked out. The back door was an old one and there was enough space to get the key out under the door once I'd jiggled it out of the keyhole. Another fun fact is that doing this can damage the lock and I ended up having to replace it soon after.

I'm... starting to realise that the games my mum got me _may_ have been cracked versions. _...ahem,_ well, decades-old shadiness aside, thank you for allowing me to finally hear a sample of the voice-acting. Shame, my mum loved Red Dwarf and Chris Barrie in particular; I think she would've liked to have heard more voice clips of him.

This was a huge nostalgic blast from the past for me so thanks very much for the video! Whenever you showed inside shots of the Drunken Druid I found myself staring intently at the matchbox on top of the slot machine... Decades later, I still think of THAT matchbox as the most cursed item in the entire game i.e the one item that took me days and days of strenuous searching before I finally spied that tiny collection of pixels on the far left of the screen! BUT! Apart from that... Yeah, I'm still hugely fond of Simon 1 and 2 many years later... even if Simon gets more sociopathic as the games continue!

I still have flashbacks to pixel hunting pebbles. There's like four grey-green pebbles hidden on the ground which you need to find, all of which are extremely well hidden and not telegraphed in any way. I completely missed the hint pebble in front of the dwarf cave, because why would I think to look there? Turns out that password can be brute-forced, though... I do feel like the game is pretty solid but could be dramatically improved simply by having all the characters speak 50% faster.

When this game came out I was 7 years old and it was so amazing. Simon 1 and 2 in my opinion have the greatest pixel art of all time. As I got older my opinion of the series changed and I decided that the first game is by far the best, because while it is humourous, it takes its world and story seriously, and therefore is a fantasy world that you can become immersed in. 2 and 3 descended into lame satire, and are therefore just not as captivating to me as an adult. And they are also quite mean spirited. But I still love them (even 3, somehow).

"Ped-" does mean relating to feet; look at words like pedestrian, pedestal, pedal... So you can see where they get it from. ("Pod-" of course means the same thing, in words like podiatry, etc.) This being an English game, it's "pæd-" that means relating to children (in words like pædiatrics, encylopædia, etc.), so it definitely wouldn't mean that (they'd have written pædophobe for scared of children).
