I am thrilled to have found this forum on my beloved Sundog.
I last played this game on my Apple 2e in 1885 due to the machine 'exploding'!! I'm much older now obviously but looking forward to owning this wonderful 'ole game' again soon.
Good luck Jake and Co (you know who you are).

I didn't know the Sundog had time travel capability! 1885, wow! ;-) But seriously, I can't wait to play the new game, either. You can pretty easily play it using the Applewin emulator and get an accurate representation of the game as it was on the Apple //e, by the way. I've done so a few times over the years and I've enjoyed it quite a bit.

Thanks, mate! Glad to see you found us here. Stay tuned... We're working hard on getting the wrinkles ironed out and bugs squashed. We're finished with major game functions - it's just a matter of getting something polished up for a beta release.

Sorry. Yes it should have read 1985!! I lived in HK at the time.

That sounds really interesting. I know another individual who lived in Hong Kong for years before coming back to the USA, and he's told me a little about the experience. Did you enjoy your time there?

So very sorry to have taken sooooooooooo long to reply. I can hardly believe it's been almost a year.
Yes I did enjoy my time on and off during my stint in HK. Was a member of the Royal Navy at the time and worked closely with the Royal Hong Kong Marine Police on illegal immigrant operations. HK was OK some of the time except that is when it rained, I mean 'rained'. As you may gather there is almost 6 million on the island but there could also be 6 million brollies when it rained!!
I'll be having a question on installing soon but I'll find somewhere within the forum to ask that. Thanks and sorry again.

I had to look up the term "brollies" because I had no idea what it meant. :-) Umbrellas! I had no idea. Anyhow, no problem that you didn't answer right away. This entire operation is rather laid back and slow moving in general, so you fit right in. *grin*
