Spaceship Warlock (1994) Published & Developed by Reactor Inc.

There's an article on wikipedia about it (and about Reactor problems):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Warlock

Reactor isn't under Esa protection, it's abandonware.

I am confused. There is a place here I can get this game? I am new..so I dont know my way around yet.

It's currently only available in the ISO Cellar, which is an area of the forum only accessible by members who have been here and active for a while. I can't quite remember the criteria, but it's something like 25 posts. Or something. If you want to write a review for it, we can send you a link and then everyone else can see it as well.

I used to play it with a friend a long time ago on his Mac. It had no sound though. So I am eager to try it again =)
I could write a review....but I am pretty bad. So it would be a basic one at best.

Wow, been a long time! I am starting to play some older games! I remember a bunch from my childhood too.
Well, I am still trying to download spaceship warlock. When I played it at a friends on the mac we could never get the sound to work.
I think I will have to reinstall Dosbox....just gotta remember HOW to do all that again.

Hi everyone !

Now Spaceship Warlock is really special, for several reasons :
- it's one of those rare games that came out on Mac before being released on PC. In fact, the graphics and sound on PC are probably poorer than the Mac version
- it's one of the first games that came out on ... wow ... CD ! It influences the game a lot, since developers for the first time could include huge loads of sound, pics and videos in their games. In fact, at the time it quickly led to some problems : anyone remember "the 7th guest" and its multi-CD requirements ? It felt unbelievable at the time, I mean most people where playing Sierra games at the time, where voice was nearly non-existent.
- The game in itself isn't much of a challenge - think of it more like a movie, where you have some pointing-and-clicking to do. Gorgeous graphics though, not too difficult...

Nice memories though - at the time, my CD player didn't have a tray : you'd put the CD in a special box, then put that box into the player (2x as far as I can remember).

It would be *so* nice to get a rip of this...

Actually, I've almost got this working without the CD. I've figured out that the contents actually compress to about 67.8MB, but the game gives me a weird error because it apparently copies and deletes the folder of content needed to the hard-drive on demand. All I need is to figure out how to tell the game, which is Macromedia-based, not to do this, and the game should be all set to run standalone!

I shall make you a special medal in EGA colours for your very own

Just to add.
For a review I would do. I would probably just do the standard rating for various aspects of the game. Graphics, sound, gameplay, story, controls, etc etc.
Say what I liked about the game, then what I didn't like about it.
