Galactic for Windows

Galactic v2.4c for Windows is the Galactic 2.4c code modified and compiled to run as native 32-bit Windows programs. 

• The source code required some changes to the original QB source code to be successfully compiled to run under Windows. Otherwise there has been no change to functionality or operation.

• The modified BASIC code is included in the package.

• You also require Jim Vassilakos' original MSDOS version of Galactic 2.4c. You can download it here if you currently don't have it.
