The Ice Shelf is the source of the planet's Ice Flows, and is solid enough that Ports and other land units can be established there. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

In the colder regions of Dalen there are Ice Flows. Like Sandbanks, these are accessible only to Hoverbugs, Air Fighters, and to Mining Boats which can carefully navigate among them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

At the bottom of the sea lie the Crystal Nodes. Mining Boats are equipped with submarines to bring up the resources, and also with drones to ferry those resources back to Port. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Like its naighbour Dapra, Dalen is a volcanic world, with plenty of active volcanoes piercing the ocean surface. These are dangerous even for Air Fighters to travel over, so all the units in the game avoid them. https://cyningstan.itch.io/waterworld. #ibmpc #msdos #cga #BarrenPlanet #Waterworld

Here are the three #BarrenPlanet campaigns running on a Hewlett Packard #hp100lx. You can download the game from https://cyningstan.itch.io/barren-planet, where you will find links to the two DLC campaigns. #hp200lx #msdos #cga

I got inspiration for #BarrenPlanet from a number of sources. It was built on a combat engine of my own design, but included elements from computer games like the #BattleIsle series and Steve Jackson's #Ogre board game. I discuss these sources of inspiration in a blog post at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/184/barren-planet-the-inspiration #gamedev #ibmpc #msdos #cga
