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.

Who remembers Starion came out in 1985 on the Spectrum Amstrad and C64, but I won’t say anything about the C64 version because its said to be “RUBBISH†❗ .
As I recall I played this game while waiting for Elite to be released on the Amstrad, pretty good 3d shooter as I remember it with some sort of time travelling story to it where you had to collect letter of something in order to move to the next zone.
Found a remake of the game but can’t get it to work. 😡

Here the 2 page review of the Spectrum version of the game,note the story take place in 2010 😆
I just looked up the info on this game and its remake for the link list on Thurs. You will see this game in the link list on next update and about 20 other games.
Still can’t get the remake to work seem to missing some dll and annoying the Amstrad emulator winape will not recognise my joystick.
Same problem here, although I think it just need the Allegro library.
I have yet to try this out, but if someone gets it all working I will package it up and post it in the download area after I contact the author to see if he minds. Or if anything the troubleshooting steps is documented.
Found the working one on retor remake Ive had it working on my bog standard vista box with no graphic card,the screen goes black when it load but just hit space and the game start.It is very fast and may be a bit unplayable due the speed of the game.
