Yep.

RE: [SWCollect] Today's finds
True...I was talkign about the title in general...not for a specific platform. However, the common Atari 800 version is the first one produced. The rest came later.

The non-Slash version of this is extremely rare (the Slash version is common). This is the version to get since the older Starflight would only support 16 colors if you had Composite CGA or Tandy/PCjr as the game was originally developed before EGA existed. Yes, I'm aware of this as I have this problem. I found a patch or emulator or something (I forget now) that lets you run Starflight in something resembling MCGA, but it's not perfect. And it doesn't really matter since Starflight doesn't handle my 700 MHz machine well. 8) I'm also missing the code wheel, but found a Windows program that performs as one. Thanks to Tommage, I have a real honest EGA version -- he let me copy it. I can email it to you if you like, just let me know. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
