SGJ Podcast #205 – Remnants of the Precursors

Welcome to this latest episode of the Space Game Junkie Podcast my friends! This week, Jim, Hunter, Spaz and I welcome Ray Fowler, developer of Remnants of the Precursors! If you’re unaware, Remnants of the Precursors (formerly JavaMOO) is an homage/update to Master of Orion 1, not 2, which is what EVERYONE ELSE is trying to do. ;) We talk to Ray about the history of the project, why the original Master of Orion is the better game (it is), the ups and down (shockingly mostly ups) of releasing a game for free and much more. It’s a really fun and lively discussion, and hey even the stream worked much of the time! Huzzah! We had a great time talking to Ray, and we hope you have as great a time listening.
