Desperately hoping they include the Fox & Hounds multiplayer mode, which is some of the best fun I've ever had with a LAN game.
My colleagues at The Digital Village (we made Starship Titanic) spend so much time on that one mode, we mentioned Stainless in the ST credits.
- purpleidea 2y ago> we made Starship Titanic oh neat! I was a voracious Douglas Adams reader and when this game came out, I bought a copy. I don't think I could ever get it working on my machine, and I eventually gave up and have probably lost the copy. Is it worth buying a new one and giving it a go? (I'm on Linux-only these days.)
- amatecha 2y agolooks like it's natively supported on Linux, and apparently runs even better running the Windows version under Proton: https://www.protondb.com/app/467290 https://www.protondb.com/app/467290
- yoz 2y agoYup, and it's available on both Steam and GOG, usually pretty cheap. It's not running the original code underneath - some amazingly dedicated soul spent over a year porting its custom engine into ScummVM, and that's what the versions on sale now use.
- Enderboi 2y agoAnd that dedicated soul (dreammaster) would really like to know who wrote the final star map puzzle, because there was sooo much matrix math his head almost exploded :)
- imp0cat 2y agoYeah, this game was crazy on a LAN with friends.
- ddmf 2y agoRemember taking our pc's (along with 17"crt) to my pals house and playing fox and hounds until 5 or 6am then going to work.
