Remake Game Pick: Space Hulk (Niklas A. and J. Nilsson)
In this PC adaptation of Games Workshop's popular board game, players take control of a Space Marines squad by issuing battle commands to counter the threat posed by Genestealers, a dangerous alien race bent on preventing your soldiers from completion their given mission.
This Space Hulk project was created using the Allegro Gaming Library, and should run on both XP and Vista operating systems. Edit the resolution.sh file value from 1 to 2 for a larger game window. This temporary workaround is only applicable for desktops with high resolution, so if the program crashes then change this number back to 1 to get it working again.
Name: Space Hulk
Developers: Niklas Åstrand and Jörgen Nilsson

Used to play this other open-source Spacehulk-SP from Sourceforge quite a while back.
Haven't heard of this new version before, will check it out :)

This looks pretty awesome. I was such a big fan of the original pc version. So far playing through the tutorial this looks to be really amazing. I can't wait to see the additional campaigns these guys put out as well.

Nice remake but it's definitely lacking a full screen mode. The game runs slow as hell on my computer.

Runs pretty decent on my machine and it's not stellar.
You can increase the window size by editing the resolution.sh file from the looks of it.
But yeah a tad bit more polish and that would make even better

resolution.sh leaves you only with two options (1 and 2). If I blow up the window the game runs even slower. In my opinion a true full screen mode is essential to any game.

Nice game. A full screen option is required.

this is awesome! But yes, please please please make it fullscreen.
Also I'd prefer if the blips were actually shown on the playarea (like the sourceforge SH) instead of the minimap as thats only annoying and can be confusing.

Also, the spelling in this game is absolutely terrible. I wouldn't mind the odd typo... but this is past that.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying this. (it runs really slow for me too, though)
