UMBCast 020 - Independence War
Welcome to 2013 and episode 20 of the show where I discuss the 1997 Particle Systems/Infogrames space sim, Independence War.
Not much in the way of news over the holidays aside from Steam and GoG both having their holiday sales. Check them out if they are still on!
Then we read some emails including a fun one from Martin where he tells us about an attempt to release Wing Commander 2 on the SNES.
Then on to Independence War, I cover all the usual suspects and give my verdict on the series!
