Played SunDog and Dungeon Master endlessly. SunDog was always my favorite and have been looking for another game like it ever since. So THANK YOU! Can't wait to try it out.

Played Sundog on my Apple II plus... I remember the GUI menus thinking wow this is nice as I hadn't seen a game with GUI menus. Looking forward to playing Sundog again!

I remember when the 1024 bytes of ram for the Atari was an excess - you could make a 'virtual' hard drive out of some of it, copy your program files over to it, and run things from the ram - much faster than the disk drive could do it. The ST was ahead of it's time - with it's GEM and mouse - and was a perfect fit for SD - also ahead of it's time.
I was a young Navy man back then - and spent many, many hours flying around looking for bargains, selling for profit, killing pirates and bringing the colonists what they needed. Such great memories - I'm looking forward to seeing what the beta looks like.

I remember fumbling through this game at 7 years old and having a blast. It was a major accomplishment when I figured out how to warp and shoot enemies lol. I pretty much didn't even know what he real object of the game was until I replayed it 30 years later on a ROM. I just traveled to Wormed to get into gunfights and stock up on scatterguns, and flying to systems that would buy it at ridiculous prices, and collect money  I also enjoyed getting into fights with other ships by just carrying some cargo until I get attacked, but making money that way was less reliable, especially since replacing damaged parts cut into profits  |

I didn't have a manual so I had no idea what the objective of the game was, but shucks if I wasn't having a ton of fun just flying around, blasting pirates, buying new cool stuff for the ship, etc... |

Do me a favor, keep any discussions of the beta test itself inside the beta area!
The first thing I would check is to insure that you've got the Java runtime environment installed on your system, as the game won't run without that. But as mentioned, let's continue this discussion in the Beta forums.

I played this back in the 80's on Atari ST, and now I look forward to sharing it with my Grandchildren.
