In 2020, I wrote a 33,000 word article on the history of Apogee/3D Realms. It has some personal stories about myself and my 17 yrs there. I also give some thoughts on every game the company released from 1986 thru the time was written. Labor of love. Available here: joesiegler.blog/2020/11/my-s...

Black Adder Ep 12 - "Chains" - 20 Feb 1986 1/2 #BlackAdder
S2 finishes with an ep I don't recall well, except the ending. Edmund & Melchet get kidnapped - most of this one is them trying to escape and avoid torture. This one is less funny than others, which is probably why I don't remember it.

Black Adder Ep 11 - "Beer" - 13 Feb 1986 1/2 #BlackAdder
Plot wise this says Edmund's relatives (the Whiteadders) are fabulously wealthy, but in prior ep he said he didn't have rich relatives. Basically a lot of this ep involves them coming and trying to avoid a second rowdy drinking party. That's

Black Adder Ep 10 - "Money" - 6 Feb 1986 1/2 #BlackAdder
This ep is well titled. It's about Black Adder having to raise money to pay someone back lest they kill him over the debit. Black Adder is shown to be fairly broke hence his panic over not having the money. This includes trying to prostitute

Black Adder Ep 9 - "Potato" - 23 Jan 1986 1/2 #BlackAdder
"You have a woman's hand!"
One of my fav performances - Tom Baker (yeah, that one) guests as Capt Rum - a quite goofball performance. It's unlike the Doctor in just about every way - super fun appearance. Rum, Black Adder, Baldrick, & Percy

The Black Adder Ep 8 - "Head" - 16 Jan 1986 1/2 #BlackAdder
Black Adder gets himself appointed executioner and gets lazy. He executes someone ahead of time so they can have a vacation. The Queen then changes her mind and the widow comes to see the prisoner. The comedy comes from dancing around all
