UMBCast 009 - Red Baron
This week we travel back to World War I with the great 1990 Dyanmix/Sierra combat flight sim, Red Baron.
Before we get to that, it's news time:
GameTrailers.com is reporting that the original Wasteland will be included with the upcoming Wasteland 2. Pre-orders are available from the developer's site.
The Steam Summer Sale is on! Lots of great deals to be had here including quite a few games I've covered on the podcast. It runs until July 22nd so check it out while it lasts.
Finally on to the main topic, Red Baron. As usual, I talk genre, story, gameplay, tech specs and a bit of development story. I also inadvertently provide a lesson on the basic mechanics of flight!

Next week, by popular demand, we return to 1995 to talk about the Descent series by Parallax Software. Hope to see you then!
