Well, an inicial look suggests that the windows version at least wll work
with Hal, much in the same way smugglers did.
I'm also however trying the transcendence game mentioned on the website for
interest's sake. I suspect that despite being another space sim game it'll
be too graphical
Well as I said, the map interface seems fine.
I downloaded the windows version, and started a game in the pirates of jecata
scenario, sinse that was recommended for new players, and I also
downloaded the doss manual and read the tutorial section.l
The one thing I'm having trouble with
i DID IN FACT WRITE A TUTORIAL FOR aNAcreon a while back. I don't know
if I still have it; it would be on an older machine if so. I'll look
around for it and repost it, or post it to the files section of the
group if I find it.

When you enter the fleet window, you are positioned on the fighters
column. Remember, there are two rows, the upper is the fleet, the
bottom is the source of ships, i.e. a planet or another fleet. Hitting
up-arrow transfers all available ships or resources to the fleet, down
transfers all to
Hi list.
I want to try the game fallthru , but when I go to the download site that's on
audio games I get the message sorry the site is down for system maintenance,
please try back later. or words to that affect.
This has been going on for over a month.
Does anybody know another place I can get
Hi Rick,
Sure. The game is available on the Interactive Fiction Archive. Go to
www.ifarchive.org, navigate to the games/pc directory, and there'll be a
file named fallthru.zip. That's the game. The one thing which might
confuse you is that the ifarchive links aren't quite as friendly as they
Shame textmode isn't working, they'd certainly been up a while when i
uploaded fallthru from there.
I've zipped it however and stuck it on sendspace though you can find it at
http://www.sendspace.com/popup_directlink.html
Unusually for me, I didn't seem to have the streight zipped
Hi Dark,
One thing which might help this situation of having to remember the
order of columns is if Hal has any way to assign a custom highlight
attribute or something similarly worded. The selected item is usually
highlighted in a different color from all the rest.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

I didn't know it was available on the If archive as well, --- I'll have to
see about changing the links on audiogames.net, particularly if baf's
guide to the archive has a convenient page.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
I should think there'll be a page on Baf's. In fact I remember
distinctly that one does exist--yep, it might be a good idea to update
the audiogames.net page when you get the chance.
Best,
Zack.

There is, but the baf's page is a bit useless compared to the one which used
to be on textmode which had far more about the game.
Stil, I've added a link to the audiogames.net entry, which A, gives another
place to download it, and B, might encourage someone to write a review on
bafs.

Hi James,
You expand your empire by conquering new worlds visible on the map.
Those will create new resources for you if you designate them properly
and if they're of a high enough technology level. Tech level itself
increases gradually, though if you have any worlds designated as
universities
Hi,
Does Annacreon have good sound effects and stuff? is it free or do you have to
pay for it?

Hi Josh,
Sorry to disappoint you on one score, but there are no sounds in
Anacreon. On the other hand, it is free.
Best,

appologies, I misspelled the name of the game, it's actually anacreon, found
at http://www.neurohack.com/anacreon/index.html
It's a free game as far as I can tell, but as it's a windows conversion of
an old dos game with mostly text, it has no sound effects
unfortunately.

Re: fleet deployment, Zach is right about the custom highlight assign
(jfw term). This provided some more specific information, even reading
the columns, at least the numbers in them when you arrow over them.
In order to send a fleet to a planet, you have to use the fleet/deploy
command.
Hi Guys,
Okay, the fleet deployment mechanism is one of those areas of the game
where access isn't as good as it could be. In this case, it's a cludgy
interface which could do with improvement in the game itself, but for
now we're stuck with it.
Here are the steps to get a fleet deployed:
1. Go
Hi,
I tok a look at the anacreon game. Are there any games like this but based on
lord of the rings type fantasy with wizards and magic and spells and such stuff
like a dungeons and dragons type game?

Funny Zack, that problem of the fleet command obscuring the interface didn't
turn up at all with hal, sinse the auto reading vf simply read the
coordinates after each command.
Saying that though, I stil couldn't seem to set the destination properly
which was irritating. I do believe however
Hi Dark,
I'm afraid the only thing you can do is practice. The set of steps I
outlined is pretty exacting: any deviation will probably mess things up.
I know that it is possible to play, definitely. If I could figure out
why the Windows version acts oddly on my computer I'd be there.
As for Dos,
Hellow,
I opened the c++ development environment ready to write something, just for
a bit of practice from some tutorials, but according to jaws I hadn't
written anything, even though I was typing as normal. Well I closed it and
went back to my notepad file I was reading from and realized I
Wow, FalThrow is on the IFArchive?
