Title: Looking for Time Pilot
Post by: ElZorro on October 26, 2009, 09:56:00 AM
In my younger days I was fond of the game Time Pilot.

Traveling with your Space Shuttle look-a-like vessel from 1914 till 2000 (space). I tried to add some picture stills of it (hope it works, I can check only afterwards)

Is this available for the Amiga (not simulate) ?

I like to know.
Did not find it on Aminet.

Perhaps somebody knows??

It's not directly available for the Amiga. It was ported from Arcade to the following platforms;

    * Atari 2600, MSX and ColecoVision
    * PlayStation
    * Game Boy Advance
    * Xbox 360
    * Nintendo DS

By simulate you mean emulated? If your urges become overwhelmed you could try running Stella, an Atari 2600 for the Amiga:

There is a C64 version as well called "Space Pilot".

Oh My.... Time Pilot!!

That game alone was the reason I got my first computer. I wanted a ColecoVision to play it but instead my uncle bought me a TRS-80 II.

I remember I was so mad... but eventually I liked it, then I got a C64 and well, the rest is history.

And yes there is no native Amiga port, for me the arcade version (using MAME) is the best and I still play it from time to time.

Regards

It was a good game, but I recall that I was a below-average Time Pilot player. :-(

There was a game for the Amiga. Runs on the 1000, 500, 2000 called Space Pilot '89. It's not a direct port, but is similar. Odd thing is, even looking it up on Lemon Amiga I cant find it in the list. I do have the disk someplace.

Couple of quick vidcaps from Space Pilot 89.

It's on  HOL but it's not very good, just played it from my stash :)

However if someone would like to hack out the goofy graphics and replace them with Time Pilot ones that would be aces :)

I'm sure there was a Time Pilot 84 rip-off on the Amiga too....I thought that was Kingsoft too.

Stella also requires that you have an FPU present otherwise you can't use it. Bit annoying, the developer mentions and apologises for this.
