Re: JauntTrooper series: Niche of niche!

I did a search for "Jaunt Trooper", and found this site , which claims to have DOS copies of both Firestorm and Thunderbolt, apparently you have to be a member of the site to download them, but I wanted to link to it. There were only 33 results when searching for the name of the series, but this is ...

Re: JauntTrooper series: Niche of niche!

Sounds good, what I can do is help spread the word that you're looking to get the word out on the game.
