It's a shame that the Precursors isn't on Steam yet, but there is a group on Steam trying to get the support to get it added. If your interested show your support and check it out here:
Nice idea but they may be two problems with doing that.
1 Are deep shadow still a going concern. ❓
2 And if they have gone under who has there assets now. ❓
Is Deep Shadows the developer/publisher? If they are it will be a problem because then they are the only ones with sole rights to the game as I know it. But if someone buys the rights (wish I could) then it could be sold. Selling it on Steam would definitely get the game noticed to a larger audience, only thing that would need to be done is internationalize it completely.
Russobit-m are the publisher in ruski land. as too weather they have the right to the game, who knows.
Can’t remember if this has been mention before but you can download the game from this Russian website
You can find some instuction on how to do it on the Deep Shadow forum here.
Well I joined the Steam group, I will let you guess what my steam tag is! 😆 Also had a look at your link Pinback. I would buy it but I am a little worried about the security of that site. Also, there is no way I will buy a pirated copy either. If steam takes it up, I would buy it in a blink though..................... 🙂
Unfortunately that’s the only two ways any one out side of Russia can get the game, as for steam who knows. Although I did read on the Evochron site they have had no answer back from steam about hosting there game, so I don’t think we will be seeing Precursors on it any time soon.
I also made a group on steam for SSC 🙂

So enjoy and trying to spread the space gaming spirit all throughout the web 🙂
Great idea Darkone! 🙂 Lets educate the masses and show them space sims are alive and kicking! I will let the peeps over at the Frontier forum know too unless someone beats me to it 😉
