107: Loving The Aliens!

Select Game – theLogBook.com

Spaced-Out Seventh Episode! A much-longer-than-usual episode starts off with discussion of absent friends and sound quality, what the most disappointing thing about Cosmic Conflict! was (it’s not what you think), why the Invaders From Hyperspace have got your number, and what one of these games owes to a certain George Lucas movie. Little E once again appears as Player 2, and Little C finishes on a song! (1:08:49)

Also, upon double-checking, Midway’s Space Encounters was released in 1980, and thus definitely falls into the Unlicensed Star Wars genre!
