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.

Hi people,
one of the most realistic Sci-Fi games for the 8bit Homecomputers (ATARI, Commodore) was "The Halley Project":
The mission was simple: The player has to travel to various bodies of the solar system during a certain time span. Interestingly, the distances were quirte realistic, the star sizes almost accurate and the destination landing quite a challenge. Besides that, the game was supported by good music and visualization. As far as I know it, this was the first true "exploring" game and one of the really outstanding ones of all early Sci-Fi games.
I read that is was ported later to the AMIGA with new graphics. Did anyone play the latest version of it?
Here more details (Wikipedia): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Halley_Project

I have never played this one before. I will add it to the games list because it wasn't on it (hopefully releasing the lists this weekend, they will be integrated into the wordpress so look smoother). I wonder if it is ok to host some C64 roms?
Never play it but remember it as it came out around about the same years the comet made its visit.
Swear their was spectrum/amstrad version as well. ❓
And if it's all right, I will post some links to Amiga .adf disk image (or a hard disk version).
I played this game on the AMIGA. I did like it very much. Targeting a planet far out was somehow tricky. You had to take account of the target's own rotation around the sun. You could not just point the target and go!
