Editorial overview
What it is
A space shooter, originally packaged as a module for After Dark, a screensaver program for Macintosh System 7. Programmed by Ben Haller.
Playable on Mac OS X using "Fringe Player 2", an app programmed by Greg Parker for Sealie Software in 2007.
The premise
You are alone on patrol at the unexplored borders of the Interstellar Alliance's territory. It's a remote, forbidding region known as the Fringe. Suddenly you are attacked by a marauding band of aliens. They are a new and belligerent race, whose battle tactics defy belief. You are too far away for assistance to reach you. Can you repel the invasion single-handedly, or is it only a matter of time before the Interstellar Alliance falls at the hands of the Lunatics?
