Re: Starship Titanic

They're not around anymore... Their webpage ( http://www.tdv.com/ ) is now a tribute page for Douglas Adams - I've tried to mail his manager... Maybe there is someone sitting on the code, and want to release it...? I suggest that it (just the game engine) will come with a optional shareware donation …

Re: Starship Titanic

Looks like Mac people are going to need a "self-contained" PowerMac emulator to run their stuff...and soon. That's bad as there aren't any out there (real ones that is...). It's not that bad...

It's dosen't work very well... Not a lot things do under the Classic "emulator" in OS X. I'm not only thinking about making it playable directly in OS X, but also "preserve" it for other (future?) systems - Maybe Starship Titanic is not a VOGONS yet? But it will be soon :) It uses a lot of Quicktime …

Re: Starship Titanic

I use lots of emulators... on my modern Mac ;) Mac-gaming used to really suck! But then came VGS (PSX Emulator) and MAME and made things a bit better. Douglas Adams (who even wrote about Macs in his books) insisted on making a Mac version of his game Starship Titanic, and I'm sure he would insist to …
