Kirkman Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Something quick that you might enjoy: Jon Radoff, creator of the Atari ST BBS games Space Empire Elite and Final Frontier, recently shared a small cache of old correspondence related to his games. He was a teen when he developed those games, and his mom had saved these artifacts in a scrapbook. https://breakintochat.com/blog/2020/12/03/jon-radoffs-bbs-related-correspondence/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DarkLord Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Just read the 3 letters. Interesting. We've got Final Frontier II on DarkForce. Played it a lot when I first installed it, thought it was one of the better online games at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkman Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) I wish I could find a copy of one of the original Radoff/Lambe "Final Frontier" releases. I have two of Jeff Bath's modified releases. I also have a partial source code listing for Bath's FF 1.46 (saved this myself when I was a teen, but the file is corrupted in several places).

Tillek Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 That's really too bad that it's corrupted. Alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I can't remember if we used the original here before FF2 or not... Give me a couple of days, I'll go through my backups (which go back literally to the 90's) and I'll see if I have anything. This will take a while though... It's a long shot, I think I actually started with FF2 but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Okay, found something. I hope it's not something that was hijacked and renamed but here it is. It's labeled as versions 1.0 and 1.53. Look them over and see if they are accurate and complete. HTHs. FF_V1.53.zip FF_V1.0.zip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
