Keyboard problems: Solution - Version: 1.1, 12/30/2004 11:13AM PST

(Developer) A very helpful user, Alan Wolfe, has just tracked down the keyboard problem some people have seen in Solarian II. It is an incompatibility with iClock; iClock is eating keystrokes that should go to Solarian, and that messes up the game. Just quit iClock before starting to play. It is possible that some other "background" software might cause similar problems with Solarian; if anybody finds any other examples, please let us know at Stick Software. Thanks!

I remember this game fondly from my IIsi days. It drove me mad then and it drives me mad now. But this time, it's because the keys are unresponsive. I keep on getting killed by those bloody pentagons because my shields don't come on in time when I press the spacebar. And it's not because I'm too slow, even if I press the spacebar as soon as I see the pentagon start dropping down, the shields still don't go on. In fact, they *never* activate. There is definitely something wrong with the key response in this game. (TiBook 1Mhz, 10.3.6)

Holy cow!! I can't tell you how many hours of my time in college were spent playing Solarian on my Mac IIcx. Happy days are here again! Of course, this time I could get fired for playing that much....
Thank you, thank you, thank you for porting this. Unless I get fired. Then curse you!

Wow, I was just thinking about this game the other day and how I wish there were an OS X version. I was thinking about installing classic on one of my machines simply so I could play it. Now I'm thinking I'll be playing this game all weekend long without any sleep.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I remember this amazing game from way back when (when I ran it on my IIcx). Great arcade fun for the mac. Thanks for bringing it back!
I haven't been able to make a score above 900,000 since its reissue but I'm working on it. I first played it, when my 17 year old son was just a baby, I thought beating it was just a cruel hoax. But I found the fireworks at the end. This is a great game. Shoot 'em and dodge. Plenty of decisions to make along the way. It is frustrating when you get zapped even though you KNOW you had the sheild on. Maybe you can't be in motion at the critical moment. I don't blame iClock. (Don't have it to my knowledge so I don't disable it.) I'd like to hear from other players with their strategies before we meet to play for a dollar a point.
