This is an small demo of the gameplay of the new Oric's game Space:1999(the Oric is a 6502-based computer of the 80's). Sound is quite distorted, probably because of problems when running the emulator (Euphoric) over DosBox in my laptop. Hope you like it.

  • And what would be the fun of that? old-school game programming is just a hobby, it is challenging and it has an important nostalgic component.

  • not bad music!

  • @blingX19

    Thanks! And it is a bit frustrating that it sounds a bit distorted. When I made this vid, I used Euphoric (as emulator) running over DosBox under XP...

    BTW, music was made by Twilighte (the author of other impressive oric titles, such as impossible mission or Stormlord...)

  • Are you using an emulator for this? Like MESS? I just downloaded this, but have never had any luck trying to use .dsk. .tap only. Could you offer a little help please?

  • @gjc82071 Indeed MESS does not support disks. The good news is that there is a new cross-platform emulator that perfectly runs all games. You can download it at:

    code(dot)google(dot)com/p/oric­ulator/

    (download tab, windows and other version's binaries plus source code) For any doubt don't hesitate to ask at Defence Force's forums:

    forum(dot)defence-force(dot)or­g

    More information and games at space1999(dot)defence-force(do­t)org

    Happy playing!

  • whoaaaa new games!!!! I have my original oric 1 still working!!! can this be played?? or is it for Atmos :(:(

  • @fusionvillage unfortunately it is for Oric Atmos+Microdisc (not sure why it wouldn't work on an Oric 1, but needs a Microdisc unit).

    But you can use any of the fabulous emulators out there... Search the web for Oricutron or Euphoric, or ask at the forums in forum (dot) defence-force (dot) org, or oricgames (dot) com. Download the game from space1999 (dot) defence-force (dot) org

    And there is an elite like game on the go! check 1337 (dot) defence-force (dot) org
