Outcast (castaway Module) -- Release 007!

I've heard of these a few times; I think RetroGamer did a review of some Speccy versions?

Do you mean this?

Is the 'sequal' good?

The ST one was a "port" of the original Speccy one.

Oddly enough I do not like the sequel - Lords of Chaos - at all. It fundamentally changed the entire game. I was shocked and not at all pleased when I found out the sequel was a different game, and not an enhanced version of Chaos :angry:

Chaos you can sit down have a quick 5-10 minute game and have fun. LOC just isn't the same.

How can I convert prg files to st files?

A .PRG is an ST program.. the .ST is a disk image; ie: the .prg shoudl be sitting on the ST.

(An .ST or .MSA is like an .ISO from nowadays)

You can use a desktop ST emulator to copy the PRG from your hard drive into a ST floppy, and then put the resulting .ST into the emu)

To bad that couldn't be done with a nice PC based disk utility file manager type thing. I had problems doing it through ST emus. HDD mounting troubles and .ST disk images that couldn't hold the full capacity etc.

It'll be doable right on the 2x in awhile

Interesting but I think it would be much faster and more convenient if a PC-based disk image manipulator was made. If you have hundreds of disk images and want to mix and match files that would be rather painful doing that with a joystick and virtual keyboard on the 2X.
