StarFighter 3000, didn't expect to see that one here. I've still got my original CD-ROM. ๐
Even got the RISC OS version to run in an emulator a few years ago, which was a painful, but fun process.
Wow that's pretty epic. Did you have to do anything unusual to get it to work?
Oof, it's been a while, and it involved a lot of late-night debugging and searching, so memory is a bit fuzzy.
I believe I ended up buying a RISC OS license and ran the OS in RPCEmu. But tracking down a working RISC OS copy of SF3000 took a lot of digging through internet archives. Honestly I don't even remember in which virtual gutter I ended up finding it. ๐
Had a lot of issues getting the CD image to load, failing installations and the entire emulated machine hanging itself. Eventually I managed to fix all issues, but the moment I got it working I lost the motivation to play it. Which sums up my ADD (or ADHD-I if you feel fancy) quite nicely. ๐
Ah this story resonates with me so hard. I similarly do this all the time.
