Re: 90s cave flyer games
Wow, this is the best Thrust remake I've played! Only downside is that the H-stretched text is quite difficult to read(not that there would be much to read). Nothing playing in letterbox mode won't fix... Anyhoo, lots and lots of fun! It's been ages since I've been this thrilled about setting a new highscoreGriff wrote:If you're on PC there's a great freeware Thrust remake called Thrust Xtreme

doesn't properly support widescreen monitor resolutions so things look a bit stretched in widescreen but it's a lot of fun

Oids on the Atari ST was a regular fave of mine, elements of Thrust and Asteroids

If you liked Asteroids, you could play Asteroids3D... in your own ship, within the Ooniverse. It's excellent!Rekker wrote:... elements of Thrust and Asteroids
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Re: 90s cave flyer games
Can't get it to work on Win7... It crashes back to desktop even before writing the thrust.ini that is mentioned in the readme. Editors start fine... Anything special I need to configure? Or could someone post their thrust.ini?Griff wrote:If you're on PC there's a great freeware Thrust remake called Thrust Xtreme

Re: 90s cave flyer games
I spotted this in the thrust xtreme comments maik, not sure if it'll help if you use it alongside Thermonuklear's ini file above
Q. "Finally, I am having trouble running “Thrust Xtreme.” I can download it OK, and unzip it, but when I try to run the executable, the computer thinks for a bit, then nothing happens. I would appreciate your help."
A. "Why Xtreme does not start for you is strange but it might have something to do with video modes. Check the .ini file and modify the screen res and refresh settings to something you KNOW should work… Good luck!"

Re: 90s cave flyer games
I already set the resolution in the file, but there is no screen refresh rate in Thermonuklear's thrust.ini. Do you know the key to add for this?

Re: 90s cave flyer games
no I don't sorry the ini file on my pc looks just like the one Thermonuklear posted
It's a long shot but have you tried right clicking on the exe and going into properties, then the compatibility tab and tried some of the options in there?
