Hi Globeron. The video I showed was MAME running on a Raspberry Pi with the ROM for the arcade version of Star Trek SOS. You shouldn't have to search too hard to find it. Let me know if you have difficulty. The arcade version is pretty cool. I programmed the keys on my arcade cabinet to make it easier for me. I set it up similar to how I set up Defender. I haven't played a lot on there yet, but will leave it running tomorrow when I have friends over to see what they think.

That's the spirit! Go for 300k?

any suggestions on homebrews?

Just hours to go in the month of September. Here we are right now: September 2017 High Score Competition Star Trek - Strategic Operations Simulator 1. jwild - 1312525 2. Airshack - 794375 3. Sinphaltiumus - 583700 4. Globeron 571450 5. digdugnate - 208400

And the Nomad is irritating as he gets faster. Just drops mines and changes directions. I pretty much just sit still and fire and hope I catch him. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Attention all Star Trek fans: Don't forget to set your DVR for the premier of Star Trek: Discovery tonight!

Ideas for next month? Here are a few I’ve been considering in the past: Tombstone City Chisholm Trail Moon Patrol Barrage I’m leaning towards #3 or #4. The month isn’t over yet; don’t want to get too far ahead. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

With the game of the month providing focus on the early 80s game, Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator, and with Airshack’s post, I have some ideas on what would make the game better. I’m going to tailor this to a “Star Trek SOS II” (or more clever name) that could have come out in the early 80s. 1. Embrace the 2D. I’m not sure how the computers back in the day would have handled 3D. They probably would have done just fine in the arcade (remember Star Wars?), but I think there are some cool ideas to improve this game leaving it in 2D. 2. Multiplayer! For the low cost of a quarter (or free at home), at the press of the fire button on joystick 2, the USS Exeter, USS Constellation, or USS Farragut (at random) would join the Enterprise. 3. Mix up the opponents. We need some Romulans to go with our Klingons. Perhaps have sectors 1.x, 2.x be vs Klingons, then 3.x, 4.x against Romulans. 4. Mix up the boss stages. Going against the Nomad is cool. How about a Klingon or a Romulan boss after some of the waves? 5. A bonus racing stage - mix up some sort of fast flying between asteroids (Parsec) or spires (Buck Rogers) for a rail-shooter bonus stage that helps heal up your ship between levels. 6. Better explosions - graphics and sound. 7. Enemies that have alternate images depending on their rotation. 8. Kick up the strategy a little bit. How about after every boss level, let the player move “energy” between shields, photos, and warp to balance out how they player prefers to play the next wave? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
