Hyperion Entertainment is pleased to announce the immediate availability for download of a substantially reworked AmigaOS 4.x version of Freepsace: The Great War courtesy of Peter Gordon. The file is available in our download section. Note that you must have registered Freespace copy in order to download the file.

EDIT - Does anyone know if there are any Amiga dealers who have stocks of this game left?

If you've played any space combat sim in your life, I can tell you nothing comes close to this. Worth EVERY PENNY! (No, Hyperion are not paying me to say that!)

Glad to be of service! If anyone is interested in what changed from the OS3.x/WarpOS version, its basically: * Compiled for AmigaOS 4.1 * Changed joystick code for AmigaInput * Brand new ReAction GUI and installer * Video playback routines rewritten from scratch * Quite a few bugfixes * Some optimisations * Included a stack cookie * Fixed a bug in the software texturemapper
