One fascinating thing about #Starflight on the #Commodore64 is that when you are saving the game, it seems that in fact the whole RAM content is dumped to disk, 236 blocks all together.
Same when loading a saved game - last thing you see before restore is finished is how the screen and the charset are being restored.
It`s a grey, rainy day today and so I decided to get on with my #Starflight career. It's such a nice game, even if the #Commodore64 version lacks a few details.
However, I wouldn't want to play this game without a proper #fastloader such as #JiffyDos or #SpeedDOS etc. - and even then loading times are ... demanding.
But I won't let myself get annoyed by that.

As a Space person, I will digest this all at my leisure later. But I must address the reason why this competition has been brought to my attention, and that is once again you have not given Women pockets!
There are Women on that design team too, so I can only imagine the guys just shouted over them, or its some internalised Misogyny?

But old game manuals? So fucking cool. Wish I could do technical writing in the style of the Starflight manual sometimes.

“Floppies! Which actually flop! 256K RAM!” (Been regaling friends with #Starflight, a 1987 release.)
⚮⚮⚮The fancy picture frame was a bit too small for the #Starflight map, but I'm glad I got it.
⚮⚮⚮Dusted the Computer Suite and set up Computer the Elder now that it's cooler. It's happily running #BOINC mathematical and astronomical projects.
⚮⚮⚮Also set up #Linxdot for old time's sake.
#Starflight has a speed run. Can an #AI better it?
My back of the envelope calculation is that the interest rate rate in #Starflight is 0.1833. Ah, game abuse, sweet, sweet game abuse.
The Pauli effect is in full effect! Janky download bars... Cryptic rendering error messages... Frozen #internetarchive #Starflight (no saving it)...
So much for #retrogaming.
Downloaded #Starflight from #GOG despite its not being playable on Linux & learned that that's the case, DOSBox, DOSBox-X, and Wine variants notwithstanding. Hence I'll just putz around, gathering minerals and earning interest for a while...

From what I gather there’s no way to save the saves of #Starflight, on #InternetArchive (in-browser), #GOG (download), or anywhere else! Shut down #Vivaldi, gone. Reboot, gone. The only option on Internet Archive is to save your progress and to keep the resultant terminal open.
And I was looking forward to so much noodling...
#retrogaming
And now to #Starflight. Inasmuch as one can't save the saves I've been zipping around, reincarnating myself, and retaining information. 37 years ago I'd always end up hiding the the butt-crack on a nebula from the Gulek. Now it's time for crew and resource management. And to kill some Spemin.
If #AI is such hot shit let’s see it speedrun #Starflight, a game released in 1987.
#retrogaming
Having a blast-from-the-past with #Starflight! Available for play in browser courtesy the #InternetArchive –you will not be disappointed

Looks like #StarFlight.
