SGJ Podcast #196 – The Flight Sim Show

Welcome to this week’s podcast my friends! This week, Jim, Hunter and I bring back on our friend, Chase “Scharmers” Dahl — formerly of the Flight Sim Follies and a bunch of other stuff — to talk shop with us. I invited him on because, other than another gentleman who sadly couldn’t join us, I consider him one of the luminaries of flight sim history. This is because this week, we took a break from space games to talk another passion of ours, flight sims! We’re massive fans of flight sims going all the way back to the 80s, so as you can see from the list below, we have a tooooohooooohooon to talk about. And talk we do, as we’re all very passionate about the subject, so we cover a ton of ground. We hope you enjoy this little break from space games. Honestly we had so much fun with it we’ll likely do another topic show like it, next time on mecha games. :)

Don’t forget we also still have a contest running! If you leave us a (hopefully positive) review on iTunes, you’ll be entered for a chance to win one of the many game codes I have, from the entire Wing Commander series on GOG to all of the X-Wing games on Steam. Once you’ve left a review, screenshot it and email it to contests@spacegamejunkie.com! The contest runs for a few more weeks, so get on it! Every ten entries adds another winner, so ten entries will yield one winner, twenty entries, two winners, etc.

Next week on the show…I honestly don’t know yet. I’ve invited a guest and saved a space for them, but nothing’s been confirmed yet, so it’s still up in the air! Whatever we do, we’ll make it fun! As always, if you have a question or comment about the show, drop them in the comments below, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums. Thanks for listening y’all, and enjoy the show!
