Starship - a Starfox 64 PC native port - available now

I'll admit it. I never really cared for the Starfox games. Animal
mascots never were my thing. I just don't go in for fuzzy critters
masquerading as humans.

And Starfox itself never really impressed me. It may have been Hot
Stuff in console land, but it felt old-hat to a member of the PC
Master Race. It wasn't doing anything I hadn't seen before, in better
games like "X-Wing" or "Wing Commander" or even Dynamix's "Stellar 7".

Still, the original "Starfox" --and the later Nintendo64 sequel,
imaginatively named "Starfox 64"-- got a lot of attention amongst hoi
polloi, so I had to give it a try. It's a fun game (after you ignore
the fuzzy critters) even if it is derivative of better computer games.
I can understand why people look back at it fondly, even if I can't,
myself, share that excitement.

If you happen to be one of those, rejoice in knowing that there is now
a free port of the game (called "Starship") that natively runs on PC
(as opposed to through emulation). It's all new code and brings a
bunch of QOL features, including mouse/keyboard controls and
wide-screen support.

What it does NOT include is any copyrighted assets. You'll have to
provide those yourself. If you're a fan of the game, you probably have
the cartridge somewhere (working out how to get that contents of that
cartridge onto your PC is left up to you). Elsewise, you /could/ maybe
just possibly find the ROM contents available Archived on the web
somewhere. If you were the sort to do that sort of thing. Just sayin'.
