  • Export saves: export the savegame files from your browser, so you can switch to another browser or computer. You can also use them in an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Import saves: import savegames that you exported before with the Export saves button.
  • Download disk: export the whole game from your browser, with all your savegames. Useful to switch to an emulator installed on your computer.
  • Reset game files: if you somehow messed up the game files, you can reset them to an exact copy of the original.
  • Reset saves: delete all savegames from your browser. We recommend that you export them first: there is no turning back!
Import saves?

The saves in the zip file replace your saves that have the same name. If the game runs, it starts again.

Reset game files?

This puts back all the files that the game came with, also the files that you deleted or changed. Files that the game made, such as saves, stay. If the game keeps a save in one of its own files, that save is lost. If the game runs, it starts again.

Delete your saves?

This deletes all your saves and all your changes to this game. You cannot undo this. To keep a copy, export your saves first. If the game runs, it starts again.

This sucks not letting play to go beyond 50 turns and this is not the version I played on my old mac PPC 7100. I scoured the internet for a copy of the manual for this version of Ho and found nothing even in archives of games & manuals not even on Ebay is it to be found so Delta Tao really screwed legacy play. I found a windows compatible version 4.0 on Ebay and it is coming soon. DosBox failed to run any copy of the game I downloaded and tried and I failed to emulate a mac to run a hacked 5.0 copy and I tried several emulators like SheepShaver to no avail even tho I had the right ROM it failed to reboot suddenly refusing it's legit and never let me copy the game into the emulator antways. This BS ends next week when Ebay wins the day for 20$.Less than the not working Delta Tao website asked.

The manual page number is from the page number of the manual, NOT the PDf. The manual starts on page 30 of the PDF, and has a varying number of manual pages per PDF page. But if you look carefully, you will find it

Despite what Bizzybee said, the password problem that stops your gameplay after 50 turns still exists. It asks for some unknown password and you can not progress without it.

There's still the annoying manual question at turn 50.

Game stops after 50 turns, and the manuel at you can find online does nothing for you. it WOULD be a fun game if yo could actually play all the way through, but becouse someone at delta is greedy an stupid, it is sadly a train wreck.

Crap version. no option to abandon a planet, no ship savings, no option to see ship progression to destination & this is different to the shareware version I originally played. end result, unplayable.

Couldn't finish my game :(
