Was anyone here a beta tester for Stars Supernova Genesis? Is the beta
version available anywhere, or would anyone be willing to make it
available? Smile Smile

Accually, I was hunting for old games on the internet lately, and I found what I think is a Supernova version. I think it was Version 0.6, or something like that. The description box under the download said that it was, and it seemed to know what the original Stars! was, so I tried it out. It was Zork. Or rather, it was a space version of Zork, so it may just have been the makings of the start of Supernova. It was in text, and started like this:

You have been working on this planet for many years, and think it is time to work your way up to the top. There is a bar to the north, east, and west.

I was very disapointed, I had leap for joy and scared my cat to death when I found it, so I promptly deleted it and now don't know where to get it again... Confused



If you cannot love, you will always hate, and in hate there is only death.

Several users here were on the beta team, including myself.

AFAIK, its not available for download, since all beta testers signed legal NDA's.

Laughing Yes, I believe it is, although not in current form naturally. If it was ever finished, then yes it would be a lot better IMHO.

It's a whole different game.

I still load and play it from time-to-time. The tactical battles are, even today, fantastic. Nothing else like it, even in its early Beta form. MOO3 has the same sort of idea, but not near the implementation.

I still check the old SSN addresses. I have faith that someday Jeff will publish it....
