Checking Out | Star Trekking C64
7Learning how to fly a starship for the first time!
Checking out this ancient yet deceptively deep and super-fun turn-based strategy game from days of old.
This game is difficult to find and even harder to get to run correctly.
I did not know at the time of recording that multiple versions of this game existed so I have included an update.
Tips on getting the game to run in Vice:
*UPDATE* Saving a snapshot and then reloading it works everytime! So once you do get the game to run just immediately save a snapshot.
I found that creating a fliplist (vfl) file helped the game to run.
Add the image into Drive #8, then choose Fliplist and add current image. After that just Autoattach NO WARP and game should run.
Please let me know if this helps you.
See the links below to try it yourself.
Thanks for watching!
