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 to everyone, Bout time I hopped onboard.
I'm an oldtimer, And have enjoyed owning through the years
C64 (My FIRST modem was a Cicarda 300 for the C64 - Using it to access the local BBS's)
C128 (The 1571 was probably the best thing about this beast - Though I enjoyed using it & mucking about with the CPM os)
A500 + a590 Hard disk (With two scsi drives 20mb & 30mb)
i386 & upward using Dos/Desqview, OS/2, WinXP, and finaly Linux (Which I currently run Fedora on a laptop & Ubuntu on my desktop).
Some notable Sim theme games I liked:
Elite http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_%28video_game%29
Mercenary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercenary_%28video_game%29
Sentinal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sentin ... eo_game%29
MULE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.U.L.E .
Alien: http://www.c64-wiki.de/index.php/Alien
Warhead: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warhead_%28video_game%29
Carrier Cmd: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Command
Armour-Geddon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armour-Geddon
The Mechwarrior 2 and Ghost bear expansion were fantastic. (Though I didn't much like MW2:Mercs).
XWing (Original on floppy!) & all the others (Tie fighter, XWing vs Tie then XWing Alliance)
Frontier (Both Elite2 & First Encounters)
And of course oolite and Pioneeer.
I think thats enough for now :geek:
Hi Oz Falcon, welcome to the SSC 🙂 Nice to see you here. A great list of games for sure. You also mentioned Mercenary. In the download section there is a Mercenary re-make collection if you would like to re-visit these classics, here is a link http://spacesimcentral.com/downloads/ft ... nary_Clone
Thanks
Welcome to SSC Oz Falcon
Ah the memories of playing on my C64C with the very fast 1541 5 1/4 floppy drive 😉 and my 300baud modem playing TradeWars and Yankee Trader into the wee hours of the morning.
