Space Bastards
Having just moved office - I found about 20 copies of the retail version of Space Bastards - Sudden Justice. I’m going to put them up for sale should anyone want them.
Space Bastards was a platform puzzle game for the PC that I developed back in ‘98 - originally it was mail order only, with a demo that could be downloaded or distributed by whatever means available; back in ‘98 however, this didn’t work. The game was released in retail in ‘99 - but retail didn’t take to the name and didn’t stock it, and so it didn’t sell there either - which is a shame because everyone who plays it - loves it.
I uploaded the demo here…
But here are some other bits that are worth looking at that will give you a feel for the game.

Ah Space Bastards!
I was going to ask what happened to that. I remember the green and black website well. The demo was fun. I was also amazed to see it in the shops, I didn’t realise at the time it was going to be published and boxed. No chance of releasing the game as abandonware or a freebie then? Twas quite fun at the time. Sadly enough, I was on the bus the other day, and found myself quoting Space Bastards in my head. And now you go mention it again.

I think there could be an option for releasing the game as freeware - that has effectively happened once because of PZ ZONE anyway! I’m trying to find out how much stock still exists because I believe there could be some merit in selling it off… I’m also looking at some alternate avenues for re-release - I would love to recode it, especially in 3d for a console etc… but also I wonder how much could be squeezed onto a Mobile phone…

Yo, I was just downloading some demos from game revolution and i saw space bastards on there but the link didnt work for the demo so thanks alot for posting it. The game is hilarious and because of the style of play it hasnt really dated. I hope i can see it re-released to buy or as freeware sometime in the near future.

Hey, I dunno why I’m posting here. I was gonna download your game, until the hyperlink had “BIG” in the filename, and I have a slow modem. Plus, it’s a demo. I’m not really asking you to zip it up, or make it free, or anything, because I wouldn’t really check back about it. Not that your game doesn’t sound cool or anything. Really, I just felt like posting something, you know?

Thanks

Hey at last i have found someone posting about Robosaurs. I found it a few months ago - i completed it when i originally got it and when i installed it months back i go stuck on Mercury Again level 10. I have just come back to it after a couple of months away and still can’t do it. Could i get some help because it’s driving me mad!!!

Arden,
I have a full solution somewhere…. but it’s on a machine that is tucked away in my garage. I’ll try and get it out soon.
However, one thing I will add that tends to help people is; you can run on top of a space bastard, they can walk on you, and you can push blocks on them while they walk…

I’ve tried it all! As i said i have done this before but for some reason can’t do it now!!! I look forward to getting some help!!

I badly want to revisit this game but the download link is broken!
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:10 pm
Should be fixed now!
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Damn! That was quick! I came across some forum posts you had made to others who were also looking for this game. Funny looking back into history really.
Do boxed copies of this game still exist and have any plans to make this into a console or mobile game materialised?
Thanks once again!
May 2nd, 2007 at 5:16 pm
Yes a few box copies still exist.
The game has not made it on to any other format… however I still have plans to do some work with it in the future… just not sure what yet.

Excellent. How can I get a boxed copy for myself?
I’m currently beginning game development for Windows & Mac - so if you’d ever like to see a Mac port…!
