Thargoid Laser

Hi Everyone, I recently got to Galaxy 7 and landed at a Tech 15 planet. They were selling a Thargoid Laser which I'd not seen before. Unfortunately after buying it, when pressing F5 to get to the Status screen, nothing would happen. I had saved my game before buying the laser so I havent lost anythi...

Another thing I forgot to mention was that I've also lost my Supercobra and now have a Cobra MkIII again. Sorry that i've put the info on here in dribs and drabs - i've not managed to spend much time playing it since the crash.

Looks like I'll be starting again from scratch!

Thanks for the replies everyone. Unforunately the bit I posted above is the last part of the save file. There's nothing else at all there. I did have four outstanding UPS missions which have also disappeared from the F5 F5 screen. Also, the save game files are still saved with my commander name, All...

Hi everyone,

I've got stuck on this mission too.

Unfortuntely before I read this thread, I'd flown around to numerous other planets trying to find Romeo (and saved my game a few times). Have I messed up the mission or will I still be able to find him?

Spyhunter mission

Hello, I'm currently trying to complete the Spyhunter mission and have made it to Anerbe. Every time I try to shoot down the Courier he runs off and the target is lost. Are there any tips for killing him quickly? Will an Energy Bomb do the trick or do I actually have to shoot him to complete the mis...

I first played it on the BBC Model B.

I bought it in 1984 and absolutely loved it. I'd never seen a game like it, it was so far ahead of anything else around. I even sent off the postcard with my rating details on it but didnt hear anything back

Thanks LB.

I'll check I've got all the files extracted. Other OXP's are working ok so maybe I was drunk when I did this one.

Cheers

Longway mission

Sorry if this has been asked before. I've landed at Biarge and was expecting to get some info about the Longway mission but I've had nothing. I've loaded the Longway OXP. The Wiki doesnt say anything about any criteria that I need before I get the mission. I've got a Competent rating with 128 kills....
