Starflight Forum with Original Developer
« on: January 12, 2009, 01:12:07 am »

There's a team of developers remaking Starflight in their spare time as well as producing a sequel Starflight III.

One of the original Starflight developers popped by the forum, the one responsible for creating the "Red Herring" object that I hear suckered a few gamers into spending hours trying to find a way to pick it up.

Anyway I know Toady was a big fan of Starflight, which was sadly before my time.  I didn't become a *happy* *camper* of the "Space Adventure" genre until Star Control II.  But I thought he and you other Starflight old-timers might get a kick out of meeting one of the developers and seeing that the old girl's still kicking.

Good games never die, right?

LOL, you might want that address, mightn't you?

icc.starflight3.org

Red Herring hangs out on the "Starflight I Remake" forum.

Thanks.
I thought that development on that sequel had died off.

SF was the first game I ever bought in my teens.
pitty I lost it someplace... my C=64 had died anyhow.

Huh, hadn't heard about these guys before. Thanks for posting about it.

I have been keeping an eye on this other Starflight project by a different team:
