To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I'm new here. My friend sent me a link to the Elite games in the downloads. Great to see Hardwar, Elite and Mercenary. I was wondering if anyone had news on FOFT -fedoration of free traders?

Thanks

Jason

News like:

Does it exist on this site?

Is it planned to go on this site?

Am I looking for the right name?

I used to play it and was just looking to see if it's here. It may well be here and I'm just not looking right.

Thanks

Jason

It's not that I cannot get my hands on it, its whether or not I can legally host the game files for everyone to download. This has always been a sticky area for the older games and wish there was something legally in place to allow games to go to freeware after so many years or once a game has no more revenue coming in. But until then it is emailing developers and or publishers to ask permission and the hard time there is finding people. Because usually the older games are 10+ yrs old and getting a valid email address or physical address is a pain.

You can find FOFT online if you do a little digging.

You will probably be able to find an Amiga ADF of Federation of Free Traders with out any problems, you will need to use one of the Amiga emulator to play the game.

The game was also released on the ST so could use an atari st emulator instead.

Yes Lemon Amiga has links here http://www.lemonamiga.com/?game_id=1568

You will need to find Amiga Kickstart ROMS as well though for WinUAE to work. Or have an actual Amiga.

A better bet might be to hunt down a PC version and use D-Fend Reloaded to run it but I don't know if that game ever came out on DOS 😕
