Ooh oui la la, hows about this then eh? I spent a few hours last night working over the original xbox build of Space Pirates, just for old times sake you understand, and fixed a few things so that it runs nicely on Windows. I've decided to make this available for folk to play, partly because I'm a nice guy but also because I want opinions from peeps. The link will be at the bottom of the post but PLEASE read what I've written below before downloading and installing.Firstly, in order to play the game, you MUST have a WIRED XBOX 360 CONTROLLER attached to your PC. Secondly, your machine MUST support 1080i resolution (that's 1920 by 1080 if memory serves). Thirdly, you MUST understand that this is a beta build and as such it may well crash. Since it's managed code it shouldn't trash your machine, but I CAN NOT PROMISE YOUR MACHINE WILL NOT BE ALTERED FOR THE WORSE IF YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL AND RUN THE GAME. If you DO download and install the game, you are entirely responsible for anything that happens to you or your machine. The faster your machine, and the better your graphics card, the better the game will run. So far I've run it on a Core i3 machine with 4gb or RAM and a $50 ATI PCI-E card with no problems but I haven't tested it on my laptop yet. If you download the game and it a) won't install or b) doesn't run or c) runs poorly or crashes then PLEASE let me know either here or on twitter (@DrMistry) or use the link to our Facebook page (to the left there). If there are any tweaks you think would make it a better game, let me know. That's exactly the kind of thing I want to know about!So finally the, after all that, here is the Windows version of the game that took 2 years to write. It takes a little getting used to, but I got lost for 2 hours flying around and fighting and trading and in fact, it's a better game than I remember. It seems to run better on Windows than on xbox (go figure...) and I hope there are more PC types who like it than there were XBLIG fans! Have a lovely time with it, and I hope it whets your appetite for the all-new game which I'm starting to work pretty seriously on. DrMistry Loves You All!
Well here it is ladies and gents, the xbox arcade title, that STRONGLY resembles Elite, with dozens of new features and thingies for you to play around with. It REQUIRES a 360 controller, so take that as you will. Im just happy it finally got ported to PC.Enjoy!(no I havn't played it on PC, I remember back when I had my 360 it was alot of fun.

Bit of a nuisance about the wired 360 controller, I will try it with my PS1 controller and see if it’s recognises itThat if I can find it.
