What are people playing Death Rally on? Original? DOSBOX? Steam?

I bought it on Steam, £3.99. I had a problem initially with Wineskin, however thanks to Google I was able to fix the issue.

Happy days. Now I have some money and upgrades I am definitely finding the game easier. I’m currently rank 15. Getting better. I should be in single figures by next week.

The speed boost definitely helps although I’m still not very good. I’ve just watched a speed run on YouTube, they made it look so easy!

I’m loving Dos Club. This is yet another game I haven’t played. I’ve only played it for around 30 minutes, I’ll have a full play tomorrow when I have more time. First impressions, it’s hard, however I like it! I have fell victim to the mines on a couple of occasions, I’m sure with some practice I’ll improve.

Thanks
John

Thanks for the tips. On my second play I managed to mine some minerals from the planets in the same system and buy some fuel and upgrade my ship. Happy days!

Another vital lesson I learnt tonight was to make sure I make a note of the landing site so I can return safely to my ship. “Everyone remember where we parked”.

Afternoon. I am new to the Dos Game Club, and I am new to StarFlight. I picked up StarFlight 1 and 2 on GOG. I watched a quick let’s play before I jumped in and it really helped. I think without the lets play I would of been a little stumped.

I love that the game has forced me to keep some hand written notes. My gaming setup now comprises of my MacBook, a pen, some post-it notes and a lined note book.

I have now played StarFlight for around 4 hours (generating half-a-dozen post-it notes). I am genuinly loving it. I have had to restart around 5 times now and I am struggling with fuel management. Not including the time everyone died due to the overwhelming gravity of a planet, and the time a purple squid killed my landing party the other resets have been due to me running out of fuel!

I’m going give it another long play tonight. I could really do with a printer so I can have a hard copy of the manual to hand.

In summary I am enjoying the game. Thanks for introducing this game into my life.

John
