Taking screenshots would require me to get it working in DosBox first as I don't have a DOS machine set up currently, and as mentioned above I have not gotten it to function in DosBox yet.

Great old game... open sci/fi roleplaying, with 3 modes - vehicle (like starflight), spaceship (again like starflight), and party-based RPG (with green/blue/red dots for people - and still pix like Bards Tale).

I have the box, with the original unusuable 5+1/4" floppies somewhere... plus the hint guide.

Merged thread with older one. Approval is given five posts above.

If you could send me the game, i'd be more than happy to make them for you
And you should do the review, since i presume your familiar with the game.

Geez this morphig thing scared me, cause i thought i miss-posted again -.-

If it's approved, what do I do next? Wait for a message or e-mail to tell me where to send it?

Or is it something that you've already gotten hold of and it's just waiting to be put on the list for everyone? It's pretty small. My original disk is a single low density 3.5" floppy. (it also has the dual low density 5.25 floppies also, but I dont have a working 5.25 drive anymore)

And Tomekk: I wasn't joking about the ADD bit. I played this for a grand total of about 1 hour. Now that my ADD is more under control, I'd like to go back and see what I missed by moving on to the next game too early.

PM sent.

Uploaded. Let me know if there are any problems with it. I can try using a different transfer format.

A fast testrun:
Game works fine in dosbox 0.72, default config.
-> set CPU cycles low.( approx 1000 on my PC)
-> mount the game folder as floppy A:
(for me it's: mount a e:\games\sentinel -t floppy )
-> run installf 1 once from A: prompt
-> run game with sentinel

'Installf 1' gives EGA, 'installf 2' gives CGA.

Interesting, and thank you very much dosraider!

Seems I went wrong in one or more of these areas:
1) Using DosBox .70 instead of .72 (resolved)
2) Didn't use the -t floppy switch (didn't seem to matter after install, used it during install and everything went fine)
3) I was also trying to do a HD mount of the game by mounting first directory as a: to simulate the floppy, then second directory as c:, then following the directions for using the installh command instead of the installf.

Anyway, regardless, it is now successfully installed and running like a charm. And believe it or not, taking my attention away from Spore and Final Fantasy XII.

Incidentaly, when can I expect to see it on the site so I can steer my friends to d/l it from you?

Edit: Also, if you want, I do have access to a full version of Acrobat at work and may be able to change the jpg manual files into PDF's if that would be worth it.

What ever happened with this? It never made it to the featured games list =(




I used to create my whole squad with the Arnold looking avatar and give them all names from Arnold movies =P
