Hi all,
I cannot wait to be able to get to re-acquainted with my all time favorite game. Must have played this endlessly on the Atari many years ago, so glad it's being brought back to life.
Looking forward to helping beta test in any way I can!
Regards Ziceman

Ziceman, welcome. I always love to find someone who also felt that Sundog was one of their all-time favorite games. There have been, in my opinion anyhow, no open-world space / trading games that have drawn me in quite as much as Sundog did. It is an amazing, complex, nuanced game in spite of the limited resources available to FTL Games at the time.
I got your PM and your Beta access is ready to go - Enjoy!

I echo ziceman, but I also have spent a few hours playing it in the Steem emulator and then in DosBox. No other game has captured my attention quite like SunDog. A divorce ended my ST playing as my ex-wife sold it with the games. I cannot wait to jump into it like a virtual reality dream...hey any plans to port it to a VR game? WoW!

No plans to port it to a VR game, as that's a little (a lot) beyond the scope of our volunteer effort here, but I do agree - Playing Sundog in VR would be pretty impressive. To make it work well you'd have to include a lot of visual details that aren't part of the game now, so it would likely require the effort of a fully funded commercial game studio, but... Hey, I'd play it.
