Help. I've been DYING to run SuperStardust for quite some time on a PC. I had the original when I had my Amiga 4000 AGA. What a rockin' game (haha). Well, we've developed a new asteroids clone using Flash (don't laugh, it rocks, too). It's soon to be released. Screenshot (http://www.cabinone.com)

I was hoping to do a tribute to SuperStardust, which I think is a sooooooperb game - perhaps just in ship design. But I just can't get it to run. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running XP, etc...The game starts - but just stays black and makes a few screeching noises...

You can't run XP and have a hope in hell of running DOS games, you know. That would be screwy. :p

My advice would be to locate your nearest skip, fish an old 386 out of it and play Super Stardust on that. Make sure you don't have any memory managers such as EMM386 running.

We didn't release the PC version, just the Amiga one.

You'll have to emulate it with something like WinUAE. If you have an amiga, you should be able to get the stuff you need without a problem.

Ah, but you did release a demo for the PC at some point, or was it some special version (A '96 suffix keeps appearing in my head...), didn't you? DIDN'T YOU! :D

Nope! SSD was licensed from Finnish Developers Bloodhouse (who later became housemarque). We released the Amiga 1200/CD32 editions only. Someone else released the PC version.

I didn't realize it was published by others. You had me going there for a while, b/c I know this thing runs on a PC. I sure would like to see some OS X titles. Even just re-releases that run on it...however...

Still, no love on Virtual PC on my mac, either. The errors I get are the same. I couldn't get it to run on 95/98, either, but just recently b/c of the Flash version of Asteroids we just made, am really wanting to play.

I sold the Amiga long ago. :=(

Here is a SCREENSHOT (http://www.cabinone.com/dev/ssd_errors_01.gif) of the sequence from first launch to what would be "gameplay." The options menu works fine...

Oh yeah, that's right, blame it on... (Looks at housemarque's website) Gametek... :p

you can run the pc version of stardust on dosbox which is a pc dos emulator

Look at the date in thefuture.

The people have probably left.
