threads. It might be interesting to know that space fortress training
increases the probability to complete air foce pilot training with
30%. I have no problem understanding that at all, given the intensity
and processing demands of the game. In fact they found that pilots
benefitted more from space fortress than from full scale simulators.

Pontus which space fortress program would you recommend?

Could you post a link to somewhere I can download the revised version.

The "Revised Space Fortress" program (which was the subject of some research) is much more challenging than the Star Castle arcade version because it adds some memory subtasks and requires more multitasking. On the other hand Revised Space Fortress is difficult to set up properly and doesn't run as smoothly as Star Castle.

Here's a repost of the installation instructions I made a while back.
Paul
I uploaded Revised Space Fortress to the BW web site:
http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/misc/
Here's a "quick" instruction guide:
Installation:
0. create new folder, move rsf.zip into it, unzip all files
1. Go to the RSF directory
2. edit RSF\client\serverconf.txt and set "separate SimServer=no"
3. Open Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Data Sources
(ODBC)
4. Add a user data source with driver 'Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)' and
data source name 'sf' .
5. Select as the database the sf.mdb file located in RSF\Data\sf.mdb
To launch the game:
1. Launch the server using RSF\Data\runccm.bat
2. Start Experiment -> AMEC (This one consists of the full game, I haven't
tried many of the others))
3. Start Experiment Condition -> AMEC111
4. Launch the client using RSF\client\runpvm.bat
5. Signup, choose a username & password (only necessary the first time)
6. go back to the Central Control Module window, select "Put test user in
SFEC"
7. Select the experiment & experiment condition then look for your name in
the list and move it over to the right side (this only needs to be done once
per experimental condition)
8. Go back to the client Login screen and enter your name & password
9. Select "No" at the prompt "Login more users?"
10. Read the instructions, hit Space to continue
11. Play!
12. Read the file RSF\Documentation\Installation & User
Guides\RSFSubjectInstructions.doc for a guide to playing the game
Controls are with joystick & mouse. Since I don't have a joystick I
downloaded PPJoy and configured a virtual joystick, then ran PPJoyKey to
translate key presses to joystick movements. I uploaded PPJoy to the BW
server here:http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/misc/PPJoySetup.zip
I noticed that the game would slow down quite a bit if a network connection
was available. Disabling all network connections in the Network Connections
screen in Windows caused the game to run at its proper speed with no lag.
good luck!

Thanks paul

Where did you get this information? If it's true, then awesome.
But It would be nice to see another source. Also, I don't think MAME
works with mac; is there another way to get Space Fortress? I found
this:
http://www.thepcmanwebsite.com/media/star_castle/
How similar is this to Space Fortress?
