SGJ Podcast #498 – Spiritual Successors

Alliance Peacefighter is a Loving Homage to the Classic Space Dogfighters of Old

Hey friends, welcome to the show! I am sorry the MP3 was uploaded a bit late, real life conspired against me the last couple of days! Anywhoooo, this week, Spaz, Julie, Thorston, Jacob, and I talk about spiritual successors! These are games that aren’t part of a series, but are a love letter/homage to a specific game or series of years past. We came up with a lot of good ones, too, as you can see in the list below!

SO, next week is episode 499, which means 500 won’t be far behind. With our 500th episode, the show is going to undergo some changes, so we’ll talk about those next week! As always, if you have any questions or comments, please drop them in the comments below, email us at hail@spacegamejunkie.com or hit us up on the forums. Thank you for listening, and enjoy the show!
