Author Topic: New page for an old game (Read 247 times)

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago, there was a thread about good DOS games. I wrote a paragraph about a game I play that I really like. I did a little searching to find out if there were any pages about it, but the only matches I found were a few download pages.

I searched groups.google.com and found that over the years (since 1990) there have been lots of people looking for this game, and looking for a new version.

I ended up putting together a page about the game and I was wondering if y'all might check it out and give me some feedback.

Thanks for the link, that's definately one of the better sites I found when I did my searches. The-underdogs has lots of great stuff, great place to get stuff.

Wow! I didn't know they made a graphical interface for it!

I played it when it was still an ascii game on my first PC - a Hyundai 286 with a whopping 640K of RAM, 32 MB hard disk and awesome EGA monitor.

I think perhaps you should download it and try it again! The new version (by 'new' I mean that it was released in 1989 or 1991, there's some confusion in the docs) adds starbases, tractor beams, the abillity to capture enemy vessels, etc.
