Space Game Junkie Podcast #118 – Coffee Break/Beer and Pretzels/Relaxing Space Games

Summary: Welcome to this installment of the Space Game Junkie Podcast! In this episode, Jim and I (Hunter is in the midst of unpacking) talk about games that can be played quickly, either entirely in one sitting, or wherein you can get a lot done in one sitting. We talk about various roguelikes, adventure games, small 4X games and so on, and it’s a fun discussion of what makes a short game worthwhile, short games we’d like to see, and so on. It’s a really fun show in which we cover a lot of ground, which makes sense since we missed a week. ;)<br> The games I played on the stream include the following in order of appearance:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.asciisector.net/">Ascii Sector</a><br> * <a href="http://www.infinitespacegames.com/weirdworlds/">Weird Worlds in Infinite Space</a><br> * <a href="http://www.infinitespacegames.com/seaofstars/">Infinite Space III: Sea of Stars</a><br> * <a href="http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Ibology/AI/AI_page.html">Approaching Infinity</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gridsagegames.com/cogmind/">Cogmind</a><br> * <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/233700/">Sword of the Stars: The Pit</a><br> * <a href="http://goblinlunatics.blogspot.com/">10 Minute Space Strategy</a><br> * <a href="http://blog.naev.org">Naev</a><br> * <a href="https://www.galcon.com/g2/">Galcon 2</a><br> * <a href="http://www.ftlgame.com/">FTL</a><br> <br> Join us next week when we discuss our favorite spaceships from popular culture beyond video games, such as movies, TV shows and more.
