I used to play the acorn archemedes demo version of this for hours. Could never afford the full version.
By time I had a full time job the computer was dead.
The ps1 version was terrible, wish I never brought it.
Yooo, I think I played this game at a friend’s house when I was a kid. If not then something similar. Just unlocked a very old memory!
This the one? https://youtu.be/tmMED22BN8U
Hm, actually it is a different game. I guess the old graphics and something about the way that building looked reminded me of something else. Not sure what that game was called.
StarFighter 3000, didn’t expect to see that one here. I’ve still got my original CD-ROM. 😃
Even got the RISC OS version to run in an emulator a few years ago, which was a painful, but fun process.
Wow that’s pretty epic. Did you have to do anything unusual to get it to work?
Oof, it’s been a while, and it involved a lot of late-night debugging and searching, so memory is a bit fuzzy.
I believe I ended up buying a RISC OS license and ran the OS in RPCEmu. But tracking down a working RISC OS copy of SF3000 took a lot of digging through internet archives. Honestly I don’t even remember in which virtual gutter I ended up finding it. 😅
Had a lot of issues getting the CD image to load, failing installations and the entire emulated machine hanging itself. Eventually I managed to fix all issues, but the moment I got it working I lost the motivation to play it. Which sums up my ADD (or ADHD-I if you feel fancy) quite nicely. 😞
Ah this story resonates with me so hard. I similarly do this all the time.
