Blake Stone Source Code released for download by Apogee software


After nearly 20 years, Apogee Software has unearthed the source code (or what's left of it) for their classic FPS, Blake Stone: Planet Strike. This code (long thought lost) is being made available freely to the public as of today.

With the release of The Apogee Throwback Pack on Steam, interest in Blake Stone is at an all time high, and Apogee hopes that with the release of this code, fans will be able to bring Blake back in a whole new way.

Said Apogee CCO Terry Nagy, “When we were selecting games for the Throwback Pack and decided to put both Blake Stone games in, I knew we had a golden opportunity to finally release the source code that Blake fans have been wanting for all these years. And when I contacted Mike Maynard, he agreed that it was definitely about time. Nice to know that those old 3.5" floppies retain data for so long!”

The code is now freely available and can be downloaded from ApogeeSoftware.com.
