WW = 15-minutes game?!

Want a longer game go to Weird World/default/gamedata/game.cfg open with notepad, go to near the bottom where it shows the months, and put an extra zero after each of the numbers ie Jan 310, Feb 280, etc.. then you just increased the length of one month by a factor of 10. More than enough to do anything.

However there really isn't THAT much to do in the game that requires that much time, this isn't a 4x type of space game. Combat is the best part of the game IMO, you can get that with a simulator, unsure if you can set up the weapons though.

For a 15 - 30 minute long game, I think that Weird Worlds is 'almost' faultless.
Could just do with a few more things to discover to really get the feeling of almost infinite space.

Can you imagine playing a game of minesweeper that just went on for days, required multiple save points? No, neither can I. Well OK, I can, but it wouldn't be much fun would it?

If you want a more prolonged space opera game may i suggest dowlnoading "The Urquan Masters".

Its a fan recreation of an old game, and totally free.

The best one is still "Starflight" in my humble opinion, even if REALLY shows age. The plotline is unparalelled.

I've got a copy of Ur-Quan Masters, and quite enoyed the little I played with it.
Kept being killed by some crystal looking things while in deep space.
They were annoying :-(
Might have to have another look at whilst waiting for the Weird Worlds upgrade to come out for the Mac ;-)
