I am currently trying to finish SUNDOG and i've run into a snag. Maybe someone on the net could offer some advice. I've completed all but the last phase, and the only thing I'm don't have is the last unit of cryogens. I'm guessing that these cryogens are on the one planet in the Enlie system (this is the system that is always "beyond maximum warp") because I've visited all the other systems. (1) how do i get the last cryogens? (2) how do i get to the Enlie system? Any help would be greatly appreciated. dan k. att!homxc!dmk2

Do you have lots and lost of money? Have you visited the starport at the colony? Is your ship in good repair? Do you have several de-cloakers and concentrators installed?

It has been a while since I last played that game, but if I remember correctly the last Cryogens are infact on that one planet out of normal reach. The solution is simple <GRIN>, you need a better warp system for your ship in order to cross the gap. Go back to Banville and look around for a better jump system. It will be found at either a bar or a repair shop (I can't remember where I got mine, I think it was a repair shop). Dan

It is an early effort from FTL (their first?), the folks that brought you Dungeon Master and Oids. As the game starts, you have been released from indentured service in the Mines, being told that you have inherited a space ship from a distant uncle, who you've never heard of. Unfortunately, you have also inherited his contract to build a city on a distant planet. If you want the ship, you have to complete the contract. You start out on the planet where the new city will be, and your first task is to find the city's site. Upon finding it, you will be given a list of materials that you need to bring from other cities, including Cyrogens...frozen workers who will build the city. In early levels you can find most of what you need on your base planet, but as the game progresses, you have to explore other worlds in other solar systems. The game has lots of elements. You have to keep your ship properly outfitted with components. These components often get damaged as Pirates try to steal your cargo in interplanetary travel. Locally, various cities offer specialized goods, such as hand weapons (which you need to ward off muggers), "custom" components for your ship, illegal drugs (which you can experiment with or sell for profit... or ignore completely) and so on. There are lots of ways to play the game, but I don't want to give too much away. You must be a savvy negotiator to get good prices on contraband, a good businessman to get the proper supplies for your city and still make a profit, a good navigator to judge when the best times to visit other star systems, a good fighter to survive your bouts with the pirates, and a lucky SOB to survive to win! All of the worlds have their own personalities, and half the fun is exploring them. Considering that you can find this game CHEAP these days, you should really check it out...and resist the temptation of reading the cheat files that are around (they not only defeat the purpose of the game, but are also just WRONG about several things). The fun in this game is not just in winning it, but experiencing the extremely detailed universe that has been created for you. ********************************************************************** Jonathan Whitcomb UUCP: <whitcomb%aurgate@mcnc.org> Alcatel Network Systems, Raleigh, NC Delphi: JBWHIT

Apropos the original question, I run it on one of the earliest 520 STs, no expansions. So should run on anything with a color screen. Apropos Robert's comment, I personally found it tediously slow, after a while. Was cute at first, but after a while the realism-effects begin to feel like annoying time-wasters. Like, I want to buy a new X-coil, so I go to the parts shop, and then have to sit around twiddling my thumbs while the salesman waits on everyone else in the shop first. If I want to wait in lines, I don't need a computer game to help me out. -- Paul Smee, Computing Service, University of Bristol, Bristol BS8 1UD, UK P.Smee@bristol.ac.uk - ..!uunet!ukc!bsmail!p.smee - Tel +44 272 303132

Sundog was written in UCSD Pascal. I thought it was a fantastic game on the Apple ][... grabbed it instantly when I found that there was an ST version. Don't think I'll ever FINISH it though, but its interesting to explore all those worlds! R.

Hi !
... do you mean "Sundog" - released by FTL ? (the same people later released
Dungeon Master). It's a sort of a space trade adventure. A little bit like
"Star Trek" but has a better story.
It is today a little bit oldfashioned - but I liked it very much.
Kind regards
Lutz
