Space Wars Extreme

Wow, Space Wars Extreme. I have played Space Wars Gold, and I liked it. I just downloaded the new version. I hope it has a lot of improvement. There was a bug in the old one (I also got the bug in Air Strike, which was made by the same person) where something with the input goes wrong after a while of playing. It happens now and then. I guess I''ll try the game now...

After playing it, I can say I think the improvement over the previous version is minor, but it is better, at least. The game give me an error when I start it all the time, and it either crashes (leaving my desktop at 640x480x16) or the game starts, but I always get the error. The music is nice. I know a number of things this game could use to make it better... but it is still fun as it is, and a good game. However, the change from the previous version is slight, and I'd much rather have an original game from the same author.

But good game anyway. I think it was worth downloading.

EDIT: Forget about that error I mentioned. My computer is crashing all around me, and about any program I launch is giving me an error. Time to restart (again).

Hi,
This is the author here.

I got the input error in Air Strike and Space Wars Gold after extensive playing, and I think it was the result of using DirectInput. I''m not sure what went wrong, but it sounds like the input buffer isn''t being cleared or something... maybe I forgot a statement.
Thanks for the compliment.
I am working on other projects, but they are slightly large and might take a bit of time to finish. SWE is just a little side project to keep me occupied and it allowed me to practice my OGL skills.
Thank Steven Malcolm for the music. He is helping me with music for another project as well. Look for it at around the beginning of January.

Thanks for playing,
