Hello, my friends, and welcome to this first episode of the Retro Dogfight (I call it “Retro Dogfighter” in the actual show because I’m a little nervous, please forgive me.) podcast! In this podcast I, along with my friends Chase and Denny, will look back at the classic simulators of old and revisit them for the sake of nostalgia and posterity. 

In this first episode, we’ll introduce ourselves, our background with combat simulations, talk about why we love them so, and ramble a bit about the genre in general. It’s a shorter discussion than we usually will have, but hopefully by the end you’ll have gotten to know us and our backgrounds pretty well.

Now, this will be a monthly podcast, and each episode will cover one or more games. We’re going to try to go in chronological order, but for the next episode, we’re skipping a bit, just to set a tone. Next month, we’ll be looking at the three LucasFilm WWII sims, Battlehawks: 1942, Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain, and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe!
