SGJ Podcast #187 – Star Crusader




Space Game Junkie Podcast show

Summary: Welcome to this week’s episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! This week, <a href="https://www.alienpickle.com/">Jim</a> and I sit down with <a href="https://www.fjlennon.com/" class="broken_link">F.J. Lennon</a>, successful author and also the producer, director and writer of 1994’s space fighter sim classic, <a href="https://www.spacegamejunkie.com/wiki/index.php?title=Star_Crusader">Star Crusader</a>. We talk to F.J. about a lot of the games he’s worked on (he was at Microprose y’all! Microprose!), the rise and fall of Full Motion Video (FMV) gaming, and of course, Star Crusader, which was a high point in his gaming career. It’s a really fantastic discussion all around, and let me tell y’all, we had a BLAST not only talking about this game, but so many others in the 90s that I couldn’t write ’em all down.<br> Next week on the show, we welcome back Joe Mastroianni of the <a href="https://umbcast.com/">Upper Memory Block Podcast</a> to discuss the X-Wing series in detail!
