The Sinclair QL Forum

With thanks to a fellow QUANTA member I've finally tracked down a copy of Fleet Tactical Command by Di-Ren. I've taken a few pics to share, the contents of the box is quite staggering. Unlike now where games won't even include a manual with an xbox game.

I've not really tried the game yet as I want to make a proper backup of the floppy discs but the detail of the game is quite staggering. It really was way ahead of its time.











The next step after copying and making backup scans of maps will be to get the game running networked and having a battle with midboss during our regular kungfu/gaming beer nights!

truly amazing collection

There was a quite detailed review in one of the QL Adventurer's Forum magazines, if memory serves, so probably worth reading that to get some hints on gameplay.

Yes it's a good review At the moment I'm just playing about on the demo version from Dilwyn's site just to get some practice.

I managed to run a ship aground then spent ages trying to get it to refloat while fighting all the damages and repairs. One of the crew members took the huff and sabotaged the aft wiring just as I was hoping an incoming storm would raise the tide enough to lift me off the bottom.

He he sounds like you're addicted to FTC already

Ah well, I guess we won't be hearing much from vanpeebles in the coming weeks...
