  • 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.

Comments and reviews

GECS 14 Sep. 2021

I wrote this game (Star Traders) in 1983 while working at Raychem Corp in Menlo Park, CA. I liked Starlanes but it was a little shallow. I added the stock aspect and changed the winning strategy to have the most cash and assets at the end of the game instead of just taking over all of the companies. My name is Greg Evans and I also ported it to the IBM PC using Microsoft Quick Basic Professional Development System. My Company name is Greg Evans Principal of Computer Solutions (GECS, LLC). Star Lanes and Star Traders are not the same game though. I didn't write Star Lanes.
