Star Patrol Micro

ADD TO WISHLIST >

An experiment in microgame design. How much adventure could we fit onto a single page?

Take on the role of starship captain and patrol the border worlds to keep people safe from the pirate threat. Manage your shields and missiles to defeat the enemy ships and use the reward money to keep your ship performing to it's highest potential.

When you're comfortable try your hand at a campaign boosting your ships status and facing off against larger threats and unique missions. Can you stop the pirates once and for all? 

All on one double-sided page. Use 1 six-sided dice and track your status using either a piece of scrap paper or number of paper clips on the status tracks allowing for a big game in a small space.

I bought this a while back, and would like to play it.

Any chance we can get a PDF, or other printer-friendly Quick Reference Sheet, and other docs?

I really don't want to use 2 - 3 ink cartridges on just the one sheet printout, for that black star field, if I can avoid it, given the "astronomical" (see what I did there), price of printer ink.

I would try Photoshop or GIMP to invert the colors, so that black becomes white, yellow becomes purple, etc.

I'm excited that you enjoy it. I was proud of the design and I'm glad to hear that it worked. Expansions are definite possibility too, especially if players find it to be a worthwhile prospect. Thank you for giving this game a shot.

I really liked it. Is the system inspired by EGA Trek? I made a game inspired by that old game, too, but it takes a different tack than this. I like what you've don. Are you on G+? I'm not sure, but I don't think we've ever corresponded. I usually follow writers that I like.

As of now, I don't use G+ but I have just created my twitter: DicemanGames and feel free to email me at StevenDiceman@gmail.com. This was primarily a test of the paperclip sliders I'd discovered on another project, but the biggest inspiration for the gameplay was an old DOS favorite of mine called "Wasteland Rebels". It's one of those games that has stuck with me for two decades.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
