I've tried some other ones, but they've been a bit too stiff and lacking in fun/charisma (for lack of a better word) for my taste.
See this is interesting, that's a prime example of one that I can't get on with at all! But it's also a good thing, it means that there is variety in styles even among our little niche interest

I've been thinking about checking out some related podcasts, so these suggestions are going to be useful. Thanks all!
Another podcast I've discovered recently is Quest Quest. It's a very light hearted look through the two presenter's memories of adventure games. I'm still trying to figure out if I like it - I have to skip the first half hour to get past the nonsense talk before they get to the episode's subject!

I found this one searching around, but it seems to be inactive (although the associated YouTube channel is still active): YakWaxLips - YouTube
Anyone know of any others?
Hey this is Seoirse who started the Adventure Games Podcast and I just wanted to thank you for mentioning the podcast! I'm delighted to hear you're enjoying it!

So although I've listened to everything posted so far, I have quite a small selection that I enjoy.
I like DOS Game Club quite a bit. Classic Gaming Today is excellent.
I'm the same. I find it quite irritating when the hosts go off topic for about twenty minutes which really puts me off. That's why we try to stay on topic as much as possible and the way we are on the podcast is the way we interact when we're not recording as well which is one reason why we are all good friends outside the podcast as well

Speaking of other podcasts I would highly recommend Ask Us About Loom where the host Matt talks to other devs and adventure game fans about adventure games both modern and old. While Matt and I are friends now I first discovered him through his podcast so i would highly recommend people check it out. Not sure how to include hyperlinks here but you can check it out on Spotify below:

Thanks for the link, wasn't aware of this and it seems right up my street.
On a similar if slightly off topic note. A few game developers to have dev log youtube channel things which I do find interesting. Powerhoof who made the Drifter, "The Point & Click Devlog"/Adam Bunker who recently released The Biggleboss incident.

Hi Seoirse! Yours is one of the podcasts I do enjoy listening to! Thanks for keeping things on topic :p
