IronSeed is a science-fiction DOS game from 1994, developed and published by Channel 7.

Gameplay is real-time, featuring trading, research, manufacturing, diplomacy, "realistic" space combat, on-edge crew members, and strategy. The procedural nature of the game engine creates a rogue-like universe for each new playthrough, featuring ten core empires and a multitude of others which can evolve during the game.

The essential plot is that you are the commander of the IronSeed, a vessel that contains the EGO Synths of the crew and colonists. You fled Mars, with the intention to return after 1000 days and a rather nasty computer virus which would ravage the rulers of the planet. However, due to a chronometer error, the journey takes 1000 years into parts unknown, and thus the game begins.

There are Floppy and HDD versions of the download. The Music is available pre-rendered, which reduces the CPU requirements immensely, at the expense of HDD space.
If you really want to use the Floppy version... well, IronSeed was never intended to run from floppy, but it works...

This is indeed an AI project, aided by Claude, I would be an old man before I could learn all the assembler this in-depth, and I frankly don't have that amount of time unless I wind the clock back 20 years. However, it also presents advantages to you, the assembler uses everything I could get my hands on in terms of development documentation and manuals. In turn, modern algorithms have been utilised, and you can look closely at the techniques to improve your own programming.

Oh, and Chris, you asked many years ago about what pizza topping it was when I put together the 32Mhz STE CPU kit... it was Hawaiian.
