Does the patch work with the previous (SSG/2000) game? Will there ever be a reboot?

This 2005 re-release of the updated 2000 sci-fi classic puts the player in the role of building a space-faring civilization.

Does the patch work with the previous (SSG/2000) game? Will there ever be a reboot?

Post by spaceman9599 »

Sorry to jump in here an infinite time later.

I have the 2000 SSG version. There were a few bugs in actual gameplay, rather than the engine.
I used to know where the workarounds were but it was a while back.
I sincerely miss the game, a rare type of gameplay. I wish someone had reworked it/rebooted it.

However, my question is - am I right to understand that the 1.41 patch will work with the previous (2000) game, even though the forum and discontinuation imply that there are still bugs?

Grateful for any help! Cheers

This reply comes a little late, but for anyone else stumbling on this forum with the same question, the answer is, yes, the 1.41 patch works with the original 2000 version. With a directdraw wrapper (like the one from GOG) and disabled font smoothing, it runs great in Windows 10.
