Episode 30: Battlestar Galactica (1978)


Set condition one throughout the ship! It's time to play Battlestar Galactica...but not the good kind like you want. We're covering the Parker Brothers edition of BSG from 1978, where four alert Viper pilots engage in an exciting, tense, and dramatic training mission to drag the husk of a crippled Cylon raider back to the Galactica for inspection or something. Spin and move your way through space as you attempt to use your awesomely destructive laser weapons in a non-lethal manner to keep your fellow pilots from bringing home a busted toaster. How does this compare to the modern edition? You'll have to listen to find out. Though you've probably already cracked that case.



In this week's Battle of Wits, we play a special Flip the Table version of The Princess Bride: Prepare to Die courtesy of Game Salute! You have until June 18th to pledge, so Kickstart the game here!
