SGJ Podcast #293 – Marvelous Mods

Welcome to this week’s podcast, my friends! This week, Jim, Spaz, Hunter and I sit down to talk about mods. We’ve always mentioned them in the periphery, but now it’s time to dive deep and full-on go into them. We talk about all the different types of mods, from content additions to total conversions, as well as mods that help get older games running again. It’s a fun discussion, and we hope you enjoy it.

Next week on the show, we’re stealing an idea from the amazing Three Moves Ahead podcast and looking at a specific year: 1999. I mean Freespace 2 AND X-Wing Alliance came out that year! ;) 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. Thanks for listening!
