Welcome to this week’s episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! This week, Jimย and Iย sit down with F.J. Lennon, successful author and also the producer, director and writer of 1994’s space fighter sim classic,ย Star Crusader. 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,ย 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.
