Zodiac Owners: Need beta testers for a realistic lunar lander flight simulator

[mbennouf]

Hi guys,

I am looking for a couple of Zodiac device owners who will be willing to test my Lunar Lander Simulator 2.0. I am hoping this new version would work on a Tapwave devices (1 and 2). The problem is that I do not have an actual device. For some of you who are new to this game, Lunar Lander Sim is the most realistic lander simulator ever developed on a Palm/Treo device!
It combines real physics modeling, Houston voice annoncement (of altitude, velocity and fuel level) and realistic lander malfunctions (failure like fuel leak, radar malfuction and so on).

So far version 2.0 work with:

Treo 600/650/700p
TC
TX
T3
T5
LifeDrive
TE and Zire72 (with some minor resets due to TE and Zire72 low heap memory)

It will be good to add Tapwave 1 and 2 to this list!!



If you are at interested please PM me and I will provide you with the game.

Once again thank you for any help you can provide me! It will be so cool to provide the Zodiac community with a new app!.

Sounds great! I sent you a PM to volunteer my services.

Thank you very much for helping out. I sent you a PM just now. At this time I will need to close this request for beta tester since I have enough testers. Thank you all who wrote to me. I am really hopefull that could give some update soon on the progress of my game port to the Zodiac. At this time the only issue seems to be the keys press (and joystick) management. The game works fine with Palm devices like TC,TX,T5,T3,LifeDrive,Treo 600/650/700p). Maybe soon the Tapwave!!!!

I will update you guys as I can.

So Zodiac owners stay tune...

Thanks,

Mo

Just a quick note to let you know that to celebrate the release of the full screen Zodiac version of the game, Lunar Lander is now $9.95! But this is a limited time offer so if you like the game and save a little bit of money...
