Some of these trial games were longer than modern campaigns. This episode I look at the value that shareware games both during their peak and the lasting influence they’ve had on gaming into today.

Hello Commanders. Welcome to Digital Starmap: A Distant Worlds 2 Audio Log. I’m Commander Kitty Face and this is the story of why I’m joining the trip out. Come back for future episodes updating on current events with the fleet and sharing my personal stories of the trip. For reference, here’s my post of my Sag A* experience. Fly safe and I’ll see you next time.

Stay on target. In this episode we look at the famous Star Wars space sim, X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter. I’m open to admitting it’s a game I like, but with a few quirks to deal with. Be careful playing this on Windows 10.

How was there no porter in this game named Cole? This episode we take a look at the 6th Leisure Suit Larry Game, number 7. This game was a fun tweak on the then standard adventure game formula and the last of the core games designed by Al Lowe, who we talked to last episode.

The episode where I bring in a ringer. Join myself and Ryan Sim, comedian and co-host of “The Other Movies” as we talk about the highs and lows of comedy as it’s used in games. I’m also willing to admit that all comedy is subjective and what I find works well, may not hold true for everyone.

Didn’t we do this already this year? Well, yes, but thanks to a significant venue change we get to do it again early. Come along on an audio stroll around the EGLX floor as told through my notes over the weekend. There were some great games on display, and given the growth they showed in 8 months, I can’t wait to see what they do with a full 12.
