Rickster8 Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Sooooooo nothing for Space Spartans yet? Being completely honest I have NEVER played this game before and yeah it looks pretty darn complicated. If everyone is in agreeance we can scrap this and jump right into something else? Let me know. If I get 5 people who say scrap it cuz it's too difficult then that's what we will do. So let me know y'all. WHAT SAY YOU??? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gar0u Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm excited about it. I did jump in and learn it about four years ago--and have completely forgotten everything. I recall it being challenging but fun. Reminds me just a bit of Psi-5 Trading Company on the Commodore 64, which is a fantastic game if you've never played it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntyFanMatt Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I like the game too but will have to refresh myself on it. Not sure if I’ll be able to though with all I have going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickster8 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 My very first attempt at Space Spartans. Granted I may be doing alot wrong here, but in emulation (jzintv) this game doesn't seem to work right. Once I place my star fleets on the grid I cannot move anything (can only move the cursor) and that doesn't seem right. Not even sure if I have this cart so I don't know if I can try it on Original Hardware. At any rate here is my participation point entry if I don't get back to this game again. Looks like it has potential as a decent game, but the over complexity of it kind of ruins it for me..... ? LEVEL 5 - 2,160 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 To move your ship between sectors, place the cursor on the target sector, press hyperdrive(5), then press on(7). The game is a bit like Space Battle. Instead of one base and three squadrons, you have three bases and one ship. You have to keep flying back to a base to repair your ship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for "Flapee Bird" i can't play much on my phone, perhaps even the "X-Box Simulator" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
