Did you ever play wing commander privateer?
are you old enogh to remember PCs without mice?
do you like massive RPG areas?
do you like retro?







free game! for a WingCommander Privateer text & turn based RPG with 50,000 space zones to explore, in persistant live world, can you get the millions of credits.

Fixed a few last min mistakes. The SpaceStations only have limited Base options & the Secret Moon bases have great trade. the bases wont trade twice because your a wanted Crew and they find out about you after a trade. the object of the game is to make 10,000,000 credits to buy your Pardon.

this is the final version

sorry had to put it on free ftp servers

Nice Job! I can't wait to try this out. I'm a huge elite and tradewars fan too.

Thank you!

Jason

great Jason, Ive updated a few mistakes now its v5


GaryV(Posted 2012) [#4]
Great game! The only negative is it isn't a console game and runs full screen. Extremely fun.

You might want to edit the original post and remove the reference to source code being included, since it isn't.


Mainsworthy(Posted 2012) [#5]
Thanks GaryV

I think the source code to version 2 is still here, but remember to get v5 if you want to play it

Just curious if anybody has managed to get any of the datafilehost links to actually work? Every time I click on "click here" to download it redirects me to the download page and wants you to "click here" again. It never ends, LOL.

Can this be integrated with 'Candy to the Space'?


Mainsworthy(Posted 2012) [#8]
GaryV sorry your getting a roundabout, the link is in top left just tried and it worked ok, there is an add that looks like the download link to the right.


Mainsworthy(Posted 2012) [#9]
slenkar you can add candy if you edit the source :)


GaryV(Posted 2012) [#10]
the link is in top left just tried and it worked ok,
I know, it redirects me to the download page I am already at any time I click on it, LOL. I have tried five different browsers.

there is an add that looks like the download link to the right.
Don't see an ad and am not running any ad blocker.


GaryV(Posted 2012) [#11]
This game is a blast. The color of the text bothers my eyes and limits to how long I can play at one time, which is probably a good thing as much as I enjoy this game.


Mainsworthy(Posted 2012) [#12]
Hi GaryV I put the version 5 source on filedropper for you

I've fixed one or two niggles, the escape pod now cant trade. special weapons purchase without credits now fixed. you now cant upgrade your weapons and cargo before you have a ship upgrade from escape pod.

your old game saves should work. if you Load a game before you have saved you will crash

source included

version 15 with source on the ftp servers below

Maybe you guys with netbooks Maybe interested I've just tried the game on two NetBooks and they work great even on a low spec netbook no slowdown its turnbased. Also the touchpad isnt used if you dont have a mouse for use with your netbook. works great on the 800x600 screen.

I must be doing something wrong. I just downloaded from the file factory link above, and still no source. Just an EXE, text file and game art folder?

Loving the game, though. It was a welcome diversion on my recent business trip.


Mainsworthy(Posted 2012) [#20]
Sorry GaryV I keep updateing and leaving out the source. I wil put it online now hold-on

GaryV(Posted 2012) [#21]
