Thanks for beating this game ;) I never quite found the time, and then lost the disks. Is there a modern equivalent? Games like Mech Warrior come close, but I feel they never captured the same feel.
There is actually part of a screenshot of Arctic Fox and one of Pong as part of the "intel" images in Ford Cruller's Sanctuary in (at the least) xbox360 downloadable version of the Double Fine game Psychonauts.
I loved this game so much I built my own models of the vehicles out of plastic sheets I bought at the hobby shop. So much fun with tons of replay value. Thanks for posting.
@v1nce1007 I hadn't played the game for like 20 years when I decided to make a video of it. And I also beat it for the first time while recording it. I played it on a Tandy 1000TX 286 computer way back. I can remember picking the game out at Radio Shack! :D I think I was probably 7 years old or so.
Ah, thanks for uploading this and posting it as a response to my playthough, I've been dying to see what Arctic Fox looked like but I could never find any relevant videos on Youtube until this popped up.
I plan to get this someday, although I wouldn't know where to find a hard copy. Finding a CD version of Stellar 7 was just blind luck for me.
Glad you like the vid. I'd been wanting to play the game again for a long time. I think that this is the first PC game I ever played. It was inspirational. :) I also had the Stellar 7 remake that you recorded.
As to how to get it, well I lucked out and found unopened boxed copies (!!) of it on ebay about two weeks ago. It looks like there are still some on there. I had to crack the game to get it to work in DOSBOX though. Annoying floppy copy protection that wouldn't work with it.
@swaaye Heh I know the feeling about the ancient methods of copy protection... I did find it odd how the CD version of Stellar 7 has CD Audio music, but no digitized sound samples for the sound effects... Talk about strange choices huh?

@timeodaneosetdona The most similar "recent" games are Battlezone and Battlezone 2, I think. Yeah Mechwarrior is not really the same kind of game.
