SGJ Podcast #09: Chasing Dots and Games




Space Game Junkie Podcast show

Summary: Welcome to episode #09 of the Space Game junkie Podcast! In this episode, <a href="http://www.badmoviepodcast.com/">Jim</a> and I bring on Gamers With Jobs CEO Shawn “Certis” Andrich to discuss if space games are just “chasing a dot”, as he called them previous. In a surprise — to me at least, and pleasantly so — the discussion evolves and turns into an intervention where we discuss how space action games have become kinda samey in terms of lack of space, lack of place and so on to help Shawn find some new games. It was a fun, spirited discussion. :)<br> We talked about a looooooot of games, and you can find links to all of them below in the show notes. We hope you enjoy the show, and invite you to comment here or on the forum, as well as use our RSS or iTunes feeds to subscribe to us. Thanks for listening, and have a great day! :)<br> <br> Podcast #09 Show Notes<br> Space Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://whoisdangerous.com/" class="broken_link">Dangerous</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/darkstar_one/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Darkstar One</a><br> * <a href="http://diaspora.hard-light.net/index.html">Diaspora</a><br> * <a href="http://www.soldak.com/Drox-Operative/Overview.html">Drox Operative</a><br> * <a href="http://www.eveonline.com/">EVE Online</a><br> * <a href="http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/">Evochron Mercenary</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/freelancer" class="broken_link">Freelancer</a><br> * <a href="https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/freespace_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Freespace 2</a><br> * <a href="http://scp.indiegames.us/">Freespace Open</a> (<a href="http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78710.0">Installation Guide</a>)<br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/frontier-elite-ii" class="broken_link">Frontier: Elite II</a><br> * <a href="http://www.ftlgame.com/">FTL</a><br> * <a href="http://www.galaxyonfire.com/">Galaxy on Fire Series</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/homeworld">Homeworld</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/gamecard/independence_war_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Independence War 2</a><br> * <a href="http://ltheory.com/">Limit Theory</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/rules-of-engagement-series" class="broken_link">Rules of Engagement Series</a><br> * <a href="http://www.skyjackergame.com/">SkyJacker</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/space-rangers-2-dominators" class="broken_link">Space Rangers 2</a><br> * <a href="https://robertsspaceindustries.com/star-citizen/">Star Citizen</a><br> * <a href="http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=80935.0">Starshatter Open Source</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-wars-tie-fighter" class="broken_link">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-wars-x-wing" class="broken_link">Star Wars: X-Wing</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-wars-x-wing-alliance" class="broken_link">Star Wars: X-Wing Alliance</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-wars-x-wing-vs-tie-fighter" class="broken_link">Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter</a><br> * <a href="http://www.strikesuitzero.com/">Strike Suit Zero</a><br> * <a href="https://secure.gog.com/gamecard/wing_commander_1_2/?pp=572e20738130fddc7c389f2ab14f4e4b22a97c39">Wing Commander</a><br> * <a href="http://www.wcsaga.com/">Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn</a><br> * <a href="http://www.egosoft.com/news/current_en.php">X Series</a><br> <br> Non-Space Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/1942-the-pacific-air-war-series" class="broken_link">1942: Pacific Air War</a><br> * <a href="http://www.ageofwushu.com/">Age of Wushu</a><br> * <a href="http://www.bioshockinfinite."></a>
