RickR Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 (edited) Stop what you are doing and go get this game right now. It's a modern remake of the classic game "Rescue on Fractalus". Available (FOR FREE!) for Windows, Mac, Linux and (woah!) Oculus VR! https://www.lsdwa.com/blog/2020/12/18/fractalus-1-0-released/ Edited December 27, 2020 by RickR socrates63, Marco1019 and Rocker67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 hehe...I was first playing this over a year ago before the new 1.0 release. But yes, this is a wonderful version of the game updated to modern standards. The ship cockpit and lighting especially are great. However, the aliens show up in place of pilots a bit earlier than I recall in the original game and also seem to be MUCH more frequent compared to the original game as well. Also, I don't recall ever seeing an ACE pilot that I saved in this latest version but I could have sworn they were in the previous version of this guys release? But yes, if you enjoyed the first game at all, this really is a must play and as it is free why not?! socrates63 and RickR 2 Quote See what I'm up to over at the Ivory Tower Collections: http://www.youtube.com/ivorytowercollections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socrates63 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Thanks for posting the video link, Rick. It was a fun nostalgic trip. I had no idea that there was a remake -- very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocker67 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I will have to get this. I remember playing the 64 version and my friend and me nearly came out of our seats the first time an alien jumped up and started banging on the window. socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocker67 Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Seeing this remake and years ago we had a fan remake Elite, makes me wonder what other old games need a remake or have been remade from the old 8 bit computers? I have downloaded this now. Have to find time to play it in the next few days. socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
