I remember hearing this soundtrack, or at the very least coming across it, back when I was coding X-Bomber the Game at the start: when I was first adding the music, back when it was done with MIDI to keep filesizes down, when we used to have to care about these things. I obviously didn't research ...

Hi Andy,
I hope 2025 is treating you well so far!

Happy New Year to all the Fleeters.


There is quite a bit going on behind-the-scenes on the site and with the game at the moment.
It should hopefully be that we are ready for a new release of the game in a few weeks.

I wasn't really around for 80s gaming. I think the earliest kind of things I remember were shareware titles from the 90s... X-Wing had some good music, along with TIE Fighter. I've not played those titles since the Windows 95 days: long before floppy disk drives disappeared from computers and I ...

Hi Jetc! I saw your message last night but I was having to have a think about the answer ... :D I'm glad to see that you found the way to a great solution on that. I have some information about the available upscaled releases here: https://www.xbomber.co.uk/?dir=Star%20Fleet/DVD%20AI%20Upscale I can ...

Gift of Game is an absolute gift of a service. Now, even Steam, which is quite consumer-focussed, is saying that they can yank 'purchases' at any time and make them unavailable to you after you've bought them. I downloaded Quake 4 from GoG recently and it was a great game. I have yet to quite finish ...

I would say that, once the antennae are coated yellow at the top, that should be it done and finished... :) Our daughter is very much into Stingray and Terrahawks (and also Fireball XL5). I was also really impressed by the production quality of Supercar, when I watched a couple of episodes of that ...

That's a good question. For someone that's still writing an 80s style game (although it tries to be more modern in some ways), I don't really find myself following developments on those sorts of projects as much as I really should. When it comes to indie game development, my practically only ...

Hi Tony! Thanks very much for stopping by, This is project is getting to a very advanced stage. I especially like the paint finish. It gives it a very authentic feel. I have been working on a very modest project in a vaguely similar vein, ready for halloween. I will post some images on the site in ...

I'm interested to see how that works... I'll give that a proper listen tomorrow. In the evenings, I've been watching Team Knight Rider, which is another guilty pleasure of mine and I've moved from there onto Zentrix, which is a great series. I needed a big graphic for the new forum banner in a hurry ...

This is a cool video. The interviewer is quite entertaining. He made a good decision, doing an interview with you. I haven't listened to the whole thing. I'll do it tomorrow, when I'm busy doing nothing. I laughed when you brought up the new EagleMoss-replacement models for !Picard, and the ...
