Space Game General All-Platform Thready Discussy Thing :)

Just as a usual reminder (especially for folks jealous of Mr. Rubin):

http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth - Install this

Then load it up with a good soundfont (like this one: http://gmrsf2.blogspot.com/)

When playing a DOSBox game, set it up so that music is General MIDI. GOG usually has a separate shortcut in the start menu that launches the game’s setup program.

I have used that before, scharmers! It’s great you guys.

Brian Rubin:

Guys, guys, I’m super excited. Why? Because I just won one of these on Ebay:

Seriously, I can’t WAIT to hook it up and play TIE Fighter with it.

But does it go to 11?

Sadly no, only the MT-33 goes to 11. Those are super hard to find though.

Really curious about that one, so I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of it.

But I’ll say this - if it is Falcon 4 in space, I’m all over it.

This is exactly what it’s looking to be. We had the dev on the podcast around a year ago, gonna bring him back soon for his third visit.

OMG! That tells me absolutely nothing about why I should be “OMG” about this!

Rogue System has been in development for a while now, and is looking to be a switchology-style space sim (like Falcon 4.0 or DCS) with a dynamic campaign and multiple ship types, eventually branching out into open, Privateer-style gameplay.

SO. EXCITED.

Wow - that one has been on my radar for a LONG while (I’d forgotten about it). Also looking forward to release.

I played a bit of it last night. It’s really something.

How would you compare it to Rebel Galaxy and X3?

Well right now it’s only a cockpit and a flight model with some tutorial missions. I’d say its far more for the hard core/niche player than either of those two games.

Seriously, it looks like an astronaut training simulator minus the G-forces and the physical training.

Welcome to another great week of space gaming my friends! This week, I continue my look at Stellaris with a whole new race, since the previous got bottled up. I also have videos of of Space Pirates and Zombies 2, as well as the new Elite: Dangerous Engineers Beta.

Tuesday on the podcast, at 5:30 PDT, we’ll talk to Andreas Suika, developer of the Starflight-inspired The Long Journey Home.

For this week’s Viewer’s Volition, on Thursday, at 5:30 PDT, you tell me what you’d like me to play via this poll! You can vote up until Wednesday at Noon PDT.

Thanks folks, have a great week!

Papageno · 2016-05-16T13:25:46.000Z

I almost voted for Universal Combat but decided I didn’t want to inflict that on you and your viewers, Brian, so I chose Stellaris MP instead.

Trancendancy! Because most people forgot it was even a thing :(

Hell I haven’t played it in probably 10 years so…

It’s still a great game, even has some expansions now. We had the dev on several podcasts back, great guy.
