SGJ Podcast #28: The Treasure Trove That is Thomas Robertson (i.e. We Kinda Talk Artemis…)

Summary: Life has a way of surprising you sometimes, and every now and again, these surprises can be so awesome they can take you to places you never expected. Such is the case when <a href="http://www.badmoviepodcast.com/">Jim</a> and I sat down to talk to Thomas Robertson, developer of the popular <a href="http://www.artemis.eochu.com/">Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator</a>. I won’t spoil it for you, but let’s just say Jim and I were wholly surprised and delighted to discover some of the projects Thomas had worked on prior to Artemis…but don’t worry, we talk Artemis too. ;) It’s, I think, an excellent podcast, and I hope you enjoy it.<br> As always, we look forward to your comments and invite you to subscribe via iTunes or RSS. Thanks as always for listening! :)<br> <br> Episode #28 Show Notes:<br> Space Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.artemis.eochu.com/">Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/game/master_of_orion_1_2">Master of Orion 1+2 </a><br> * <a href="http://quintet.us/">Quintet</a><br> * <a href="http://www.sleepingbeastgames.com/spaceteam/">Spaceteam</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/spaceward-ho-series" class="broken_link">Spaceward Ho!</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/star-trek-klingon-academy" class="broken_link">Star Trek: Klingon Academy</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/star-trek-starfleet-academy" class="broken_link">Star Trek: Starfleet Academy</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/star-wars-tie-fighter" class="broken_link">Star Wars: TIE Fighter</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/star-wars-x-wing" class="broken_link">Star Wars: X-Wing</a><br> <br> Other Games Mentioned:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/all-star-baseball-2002">All Star Baseball 2002</a>/<a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/all-star-baseball-2003">2003</a><br> * <a href="http://games.eochu.com/Battlepets.htm">Battlepets</a><br> * <a href="http://www.bmreturns.com/">Blade Mistress</a><br> * <a href="https://register.perfectworld.com/co_splashB" class="broken_link">Champions Online</a><br> * <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/2280/">Doom</a><br> * <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/8880/">Freedom Force</a><br> * Guardians: Agents of Justice<br> * <a href="http://games.eochu.com/GunRaven.htm">GunRaven</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/harpoon">Harpoon</a><br> * <a href="http://www.gog.com/game/master_of_magic">Master of Magic</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/sid-meiers-civilization">Sid Meier’s Civilization</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/ps2/sims">The Sims (PS2)</a><br> * <a href="http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/sc/">Starcraft</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/star-trek-25th-anniversary-" class="broken_link">Star Trek: 25th Anniversary</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/star-trek-judgment-rites">Star Trek: Judgement Rites</a><br> * <a href="http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_Secret_of_Vulcan_Fury">Star Trek: Secret of Vulcan Fury</a><br> * <a href="http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/superhero-league-of-hoboken">Superhero League of Hoboken</a><br> * <a href="http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/games/war3/">Warcraft 3</a><br> * <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/7760/">X-COM: UFO Defense</a><br> <br> Miscellany:<br> <br> * <a href="http://www.edgeofreality.com/" class="broken_link">Edge of Reality</a><br> * <a href="http://www.newstarship.com/">New Starship Foundation</a><br> * <a href="http://galileorestoration.com/" class="broken_link">Shuttlecraft Galileo Restoration Project</a> (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcNC4eZ3feI">Video</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH9D2HBEbZk">Video</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?"></a>
