Hi Shane, I remember better now. The original X-fighters had Alliance technology in them, which backfired. That plot point has aged amazingly well with the amount of info that 'our own' equipment collects on us now, and not for our own use. I remember thinking a long time ago that, by the time of ...

Hi Shane! It's great to see you. This is a brilliant display. The only thing I've seen like it for Star Fleet is Yaco in Japan who is a huge collector of all kinds of things but he focusses a lot on Star Fleet. I like your Dai-X model in particular. A new fan story came my way from Suzy, which is a ...

STAR TREK: SECTION 31 Is a Dreary, Unfortunate Misfire — Our Spoiler-Free Review Spoiler-Free Review: SECTION 31 brings back Michelle Yeoh — but forgets all the STAR TREK — in the dismal new Paramount+ film TrekCore.com I'm unsurprised that the film is apparently dreadful. Even the screenshots remin ...

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 ...
