SunDog: Frozen Legacy
SunDog: Frozen Legacy is FTL Software's 1985 space trading and exploration game, where you take over a starship to build a colony for a religious sect while trading, fighting and running your ship's systems in real time. This port runs the original Atari ST game code through laanwj's p-system interpreter.
Port Details
Instructions
Copy your SunDog: Frozen Legacy v3.0 Atari ST disk image (.st or .stx, original disk layout, not the re-packed version) to ports/sundog/. An .stx image is converted automatically on first launch.
Additional Information
Notes
Thanks to Wladimir J. van der Laan for writing a p-system interpreter that runs FTL's original Atari ST SunDog code, one of the first real-time space trading games.
Copy your SunDog: Frozen Legacy v3.0 Atari ST disk image to ports/sundog/. Both a raw .st and a Pasti .stx image work; an .stx is converted to sundog.st on first launch. Use an image of the original disk, the re-packed version has a different layout and will not work.
