I think Kris was overly harsh on the controls myself as they work fine once you are used to them but I can definitely accept that can take some time.Ī new port possibly offers a chance to make those controls more user friendly and the Saturn offers 3 preset control schemes which admittedly don’t look all that simple at first glance. Ancient DOS games did an episode on it a month or so back which is well worth a look. The formula probably didn’t offer enough variety to justify too many clones but with that never happening this still stands up well today. I always liked the combination of strategy, action and exploration and I’ve certainly never come across anything else since that plays the same. Crusader was, in my eyes at least, one of the better games to come out of Origin.

This port was released back in 1996, a year after the PC original. While I wait, I thought I would have a go at Crusader No Remorse on the Sega Saturn. I’m still missing the vital memory expansion I’ll need to play Ultima I which will probably be in the country in a day or two but take another 3 weeks to clear customs going on recent experience. A big thank you to Ian at Mutant Caterpillar Games for sorting it out. I’m likely to be a little more active now as my IIGS is fixed and on its way back. Also, the now infamous ending put me off gaming for a while which may have been just as well. As fun as that was, the unfortunate truth is that I really haven’t got the time to play games that long these days and I’ve had to catch up on all the things I should have been doing since finishing them.

My absence this time can be mainly blamed on the Mass Effect series which I decided was long overdue for a playthrough. It’s been another long wait between posts. Now if I can just track down that Mark Hamill Wing Commander cutout, I’ll have the set… I haven’t as of yet figured out where but it will find a home somewhere in here. No doubt if I’d gone for the £200 option it would be perfect but this will still look fantastic on the wall somewhere. I would say that in real life the colours aren’t quite as deep as they could be so the original would be slightly nicer. I was worried that with modern printing, the pixels could be too obvious on this but it looks great. In hindsight the cut is slightly different around the bottom left but it’s close enough for me anyway.Īnd about a week later the real thing has arrived. I sent all this through to the printers and got this proof back. So instead the cut is based on the low-res image above taken from wcnews back when an original standee was auctioned off many years ago. There were some files on the CD that looked to deal with this but they weren’t in any format I could use. There is also the issue of where to cut the image as it’s not all that obvious. They were keen enough to take the job and at 1/4 of the price. Instead I went to .uk who blow up family photos to life size for birthdays and the like which is near enough what I was after. I thought to try the local printers initially, then got a quote of £200 and quickly changed my mind. I had a bit of a look around online for someone to print this. The artwork is surprisingly basic on this actually with no real background other than a cityscape + a great big explosion. Once figured out, I fed it into an online convertor and got out a nice crisp JPG.

They aren’t actually TGA files though and are really PSD (Paintshop Pro) format. The naming format used in the files on these CD’s wasn’t entirely helpful.

Echo Sector has long held an archive of Crusader CD’s one of which contains the original files used to create these things. So instead I thought I’d have a go at making my own. Even if I did ever find one, I really, really don’t want to ship it over. The odds are against me though, especially given as these things were primarily used in the USA. I own one of the Bioforge ones which I’ve stuck up on a wall rather than standing it up and I’ve quite fancied the idea of reuniting with it’s compatriots for some time. These were 3 of these that I’m aware of for Wing Comander 4, Bioforge and also Crusader – No Remorse.
