I wasted a significant amount of time playing a similar concept game called Space Trader on PalmOS (and it seems someone has reimplemented it for Android!). This game is much expanded but Space Trader was very, very reminiscent of Drug Wars.
- WaxProlix 5y agoOh my god I had forgotten about that entirely. I had it on a Handspring Visor that I used as an organizer in high school. I must have looked like such a dork, but what a nostalgic vibe. Thanks for the reminder, and I'll definitely check out the parent game with this endorsement :)
- alexjplant 5y agoI bought a Handspring Visor Deluxe when I was 10-11 (when they first came out) and loved it. My favorite game was by far Space Trader. I remember waiting patiently for the vaporware sequel Picoverse but I stopped checking Peter Spronck's site long ago after it seemed basically abandoned. Somebody also re-implemented it in .NET if I recall correctly. I'd love to build a TUI re-implementation but there's other stuff on my plate at the moment that precludes me from doing so. EDIT: From his site, "I I have been working on a sequel to the game, named "Picoverse", since 2003. I still haven't given up on that one, though it probably will not be for the Palm computer, as this brand is rather dead at the moment." There is hope yet!
- themodelplumber 5y agoSpace Trader on FDroid is fun to play, and it seems pretty similar to the PalmOS version. The downside is that there isn't a ton of help for new players, so you do have to do some guesswork, but it's not too bad.
