Request: Star Fighter 3000

Hello all !

I'm desperatly searching for the game named Star Fighter 3000... Does any one here have a copy of it ?
Here is a site where the PC version can be found, and where a screenshot can be seen (Most of the screenshots that can be found on the web are from the original RiscOS version, which does not ressemble the mac version that much) : http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/arcade_action/games_s...

It doesn't look like a Mac version was released.

However, you can download the DOS version here:

And with the latest version of DOSBox:

And the Boxer front-end:

It's a snap to run it on a modern OS X computer.

@Temporary Joe : I've spent so much time playing this game on my Performa 5200 that I can assure you a Mac version exists Smile

Either DOSBox *or* Boxer, which *includes* DOSBox.

Thanks for the links. Unfortunately, I'm not ready to put that much money on a game right now (plus, I have to add a lot for shipping and taxes since I'm in France).
That's not that I don't think it's worth it, but given my current priorities, I really need to measure the pros and cons before buying something.
Right now I will stick trying to find a free way to obtain that title...
