Hey this is random, but In my latest flight of ADD, I was remembering that when I was a kid, our family had a //c, and there was this game on it that I would play for hours. I'm pretty sure it was called "Night Flight"... It was basically a little triangular ship that you would have to pilot through oncoming canyon-like walls. I have been looking online at several rom download sites for the //c / //e and I cant find it anywhere... Does anyone else remember this great game or know where I can find a rom image of it?

Shoot, MacAddict had an article which listed an FTP site that had a TON of Apple // roms for free download. Maybe someone can find their copy and post a link, all my Mac Addicts are in the US of A.

Not entirely sure but methinks you might be referring to 'Oids' ... if that's the case, simply download the OS X version here.

HTH.

hmm... that screen shot does match the description I gave, which means it was a poor description!

First, it was on the apple //c, really basic, monochrome graphics, (this was probably in like, 86 or 87....)

The ship stayed at the bottom of the screen, much like space invaders or similar games. (actually, it may have been in the middle or 1/3 of the way up, but it only moved on the x axis...)

the "walls" were on both sides of the screen, and were constantly coming at you, the whole idea was just to maneuver through the walls....

Im almost positive it was called "night flight"

They lost most of their images. I almost feel guilty cuz he'd been asking for mirrors for who knows how many years (10+?!) and non one mirrored it. So now most of the stuff is gone.
