Space:1999 Oric game demo

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?

[ChemaEn]

@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:

Happy playing!

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

[ChemaEn]

@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

[Helderhugo]

Why don't make a game with the current technology now.

[gjc82071]

@ChemaEn Oh.....my.......GOD!!!!!!!!! This is without question, the BEST Oric emulator I have EVER used/seen! It freak'n works PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!!

It also loads the disks/tapes in like 1/2 a second!!!! I am eternally grateful! Thank you SO much!!!
