As mentioned earlier today, we’ll be appearing at this year’s Escape Velocity on Memorial Day weekend.

Last year, we did an adaptation of H.G. Wells’s classic War of the Worlds since it was the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles’s 1938 radio broadcast. It was great fun to update a radio adaptation to the present day and set it in and around Washington, DC.

This year, we were asked to once again pick a known work (as opposed to something original like Rogue Tyger or Quorum). However, the organizers also said that parody was an option, and it’s the 40th anniversary of both the original Alien and the TV show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century…

Ladies and gentlemen — and assorted aliens — get ready for Nostromo 2: Electric Alien Boogaloo (featuring Chuck Codgers).

So we’re still working on the script, and this week someone posted a link to the full runthrough to Space Ace, the sci-fi themed sequel to the interactive animated video game Dragon’s Lair.
