I beat this game 6 years ago, but when the really old computer I was playing on screwed up, I didn't know where to get it. I thought that it was called "Terran," so I never found it. But then I was just randomly looking at games at this web site, and I found it :Brain:
:tnx:

I've always heard great things about this game (I come from the Raptor camp) So I decided to give it a spin. It actually looks very promising, but there seems to be a slight glitch: the game (sfx and graphics) actually slows to a crawl when clouds appear on screen (running on 9k cycles dosbox)... once the clouds leave, however, the game speeds up to an insane speed. Any ideas why this is happening or if they is a way to disable the clouds altogether? Thanks.

Oops. I found out why. My details settings was set to Pentium: the game attempts to make the clouds semi-transparent (unheard of in a dos game, I'm sure) which lags the game to hell. Setting it on 'high' instead fixes it quite nicely. Now for some mayhem.

nice one - i was having that problem too.

These kind of games always get me quite frustrated when it gets too hard (in this case too hard equals too fast, even in slow mode). I guess that's why I like Zone66, Tubular wolrds and Raptor better, there's more time to think and enjoy the scenery :P I do like the buying system though, and the sounds\music are great too.

The clouds at Pentium setting stopped lagging when I increased the DOSbox cycle rate a bit, but the game got even faster as well

oh man, this game was one of the first computer games i ever beat, and by far my favorite! this is a must play for any seasoned gamer or newbee alike

:w00t:

right click the file001 and click the TAB program

CMD line : C:\OLD GAME FAVS\file0001.exe

just add

heres an example

C:\OLD GAME FAVS\file0001.exe - FLICKER

or

C:\OLD GAME FAVS\file0001.exe - FLICKER - XMAS

-XMAS Makes the Game Run IN XMAS MODE
