RickR 14,575 Report post 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 3 Rocker67, Marco1019 and socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrossBow 558 Report post 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?! 2 RickR and socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocker67 91 Report post 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. 1 socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocker67 91 Report post 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. 1 socrates63 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
