I first got my hands on this game via a demo disc from McDonald's back when it was first released. The disc came with a trailer for Kingdom Hearts, a music video for I'm Still Here from the Treasure Planet movie, and some images/desktop backgrounds. Needless to say, I wasn't expecting much from an incomplete, licensed game demo bundled with a Happy Meal.

Boy, was I wrong.

I played the demo for many, many hours. It defied my expectations with thrilling action, simplified but tight strategy mechanics, and an above-average soundtrack that really puts you in the mood for, well, being in a ship out in space. I remember being astounded the first time I sailed through a nebula, eager to find whatever mysteries lay behind the pink clouds. I remember watching in fear as a black hole swallowed ships, tearing them asunder. All this in just a demo!

Jumping back into the full release, I thought that nostalgia would have dulled my senses, or maybe I wouldn't remember how to play, or maybe I would be biased. Again, I was wrong. I jumped right back in (speaking to the ease of the gameplay) and was immediately surprised to find that it was just as fun as I remembered! That's something that can't be said for many games.

To sum up, I really enjoy Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon. It enhances the story of the original film and raises the bar for licensed games everywhere with stunning space combat done correctly, solid voice acting, graphics and sound that really put you in the world (or in space, if you prefer), and just being plain fun to learn and play. I wholeheartedly recommend it for fans of action-strategy games, space combat, or video games in general.

TORPEDOES AWAY!

Oh my, I thought this gem was long since lost to the infinite sea of good games we will never see again

In Treasure planet, battle at procyon, you play as an older Jim Hawkins, who decided to stop being a little thug and joined up with the navy he sailed with in the movie. The game gives more depth to the treasure planet universe and, to be honest, is a bloody damn good example of a RTS ship game. You can board and steal enemy ships, set up skirmishes, and play a very well put together campain.

It kills me this game didnt end up a classic in the minds of all gamers. People should scoff at new games and say "Dear god, why couldnt you do what a disney game thats demo was given away for free with kids meals at mcdonalds do, why cant you even manage to be as good as "Battle at Procyon"

In the main game you can only play as the Royal Navy, as jim hawkins, however in skirmishes you can play as any of the three factions (Navy, pirates, or "Procyons" the raccoon like massive military empire that specializes in badass warships) and you can individually construct your fleet and crew with the minutest details under your control.

Just some examples of the things you can have happen in this game, often at random

Lure enemies into a nebula where their sails stop providing energy and they must be tugged out or be left as easy prey.

Steal enemy ships and use their talents to help you win battles.

Stick a "REALLY BIG GUN" on your warship and blow anything within 10 parsecs to a billion pieces, you can fully customize your ships firepower

Defend forts in space and use their guns to aid you

Command everything from a torpedo boat to the impressive Fast Frigate

Get sucked into a black hole and legitimately be scared to death as you watch your ship vanish from reality, or even better, get sucked into a supernova and have the same experience, but on fire

Amelia is back for all the people like me who had a crush on her in the movie! she leads you through the campain

Big ship thinks your torpedo boat is whimpy? knock out its engines (Yes you can target specific places) then launch a line into it and tow its ass over to a black hole, or better, to your own fleet and let them ravage it.

While this is a RTS game, the projectiles move realistically and arent "Click, auto hit" meaning you can dodge things, or put guns on your ship dedicated to shooting down enemy projectiles, you are very free to mix actual talent for naval battle with talent for military tactics, think of it like playing Black Flag's ship segments while controlling a whole fleet in the background. You are also wholly able to move and touch any vessel with your own, letting you push around ships and block fire with your bigger, stronger ship if you so desire.

And so much more! seriously this is a classic and you dont even know it, if you love strategy then bloody get it and wonder why your AAA title cost 60$ and is half as good as this game

I was having so much trouble getting this game to work on Windows 10, and the compatibility tool kept telling me to set it to Windows XP Service Pack 3... which wasn't working, by itself.

The key is to set it to Windows XP Service Pack 3, and then ALSO set the launch resolution to 640x480.

It's working now, and I'm having a fantastic time with it. =^.^=

Holy ♥♥♥♥ this is one of the most underrated games of all time, I'm dead serious, this is one of the best things to come out of a movie tie in and for it's position, a movie tie in in the 2000's and one by disney of all people, it's simply one of the best.

alright, let me take a breather here and tell you why this small little game would provoke such a responce out of me. this game as I've said befor is a 2000's era movie tie in, usuallly these are compleat shovelware, and, uppon it's release, it was surrounded by shovelware compatriots, crappy one trick games that did nothing new or special, this game, however, DID do something special, be origional. origional story, origional music, origional gameplay.
Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is a naval combat simulator set to continue the story told in the movie, Treasure Planet, it follows Jim Hawkins uppon graduation from navel acadamy and into service of the royal navy. a new threat, however, has arrisin in the far reaches of the empire, Ironclads. these formidible ships sail with no sail, leave no trace, and no survivors. it is not up to you, however, to chase these down, you are to report to the admiral and obey your commands, sail the seas and follow through this game's impressive single player storyline. the single player and the story of this game are inseprable as every mission shuttles you through, wasting none of it's time on pointless sidequests or grind. Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon earns a great recomendation in the singleplayer/story department for it's well designed layouts filled with a impressive amount of unique hazards, obsticles, and beautiful scenery as well for a story put together extrodinarally well I am very impressed.

In the gameplay space, there too is an suprising amount of complexity and a fair ammount of depth. you, yourself don't command a fleet, but rather a flagship that commands the other ships in your armada. this is very unlike other naval combat simulators where you controll the whole fleet from a god's eye perspective. in Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon, you control a flagship from which you order the fleet under your command around. the controll of your flagship as well as your fleet is where half of the depth and complexity come from, micromanaging is at whatever level you want it at, controll every ships course and plot or just orde them all into a "v" and everything inbetween, it's up to you. movement is nice, ships have momentum and a speed and size determaned turning radius, combat is engaging with a suprining amount of weapons that all function in ther own way with some weapons getting a unique targetable aoe charge. dammage and stat are more that just a healthbar, your ship state and even how well you can operate is fully fleshed out with dammage dependant systems. and even beyond that there is ship and fleet costimization allowing for compleat controll over not just what ship and what guns, but also the crew and captian itself. a points system is in place with better crew, guns, ships, and fleet size costing more from the sae shared pool, forcing critical thought and disision about your how you wish to play.
the systems, however ahead of their time are by today's standards, above avrage, but for the 2000's? amazing.
the solid gameplay foundation earns an applaud from me. I am impressed with a bonus applaud.

in presentation, there is not much to say but the ui is competent, graphics themselves may not hold, but the ammount of detail from sea(space)gulls, sea(space)whale, islands decorated with sand, trees, shipwrecks, you know what, now that I think about it, everything is deatailed. all of it, from spaceports to spacegulls, the presentation earns a rating of moderetly impressed to very impressed with towns and spaceports taking a notible exeption and earning a very impressed. (side note, the main menu itself is rather underwhelming, being a vague picture layed behind some high quality buttons)

side-sidenote, the tutorials are topist of top notch for seperated experiencees. (like the tutorial from the origional half-life, where you have to click a menu option to get to it)

in the sound department, everything is a 9 or a 10, music is very fitting and well composed as well as well sounding. voice acting is some of the best I've heard in a while, all of it is very immersive. the enviromeental effects are absoulutly amazing. the blackhole sound effect being one that stands out in my mind, it's encreadably eariy and fitts them to an astounding degree.
ui and menu noises are short and satisfying. I'm very impressed.

multi-player is everything it aimed to be, just perfect. available in lan and internet. shame no-one's online, even so, with many maps, well made bots, and the astounding gameplay to back it up, this mode can afford to live off of it's dm only note. a well made compliment to the main story mode. I'm impressed.

overall, Treasure Planet: Battle at Procyon is not a hyper platnum best of all time revolutionize everything omgomgomg, but is it a gem of outstanding, unbelievable quality and should be a must play and must play again for any hidden jem hunter. I'm very impressed

tl;dr one of, if not the best hidden jem on steam, yes, buy it, even if it's not on sale.

(as for why I'm gushing over this game with little playtime, I've owned it for the longest time on CD.)

Breaks the form of a cheap cash-in after a recently released movie.

My favorite part: Modding. The game and world files can easily be edited in notepad to create all sorts of weird inconvieniences/improvements. There were official modding and map tools made for the game when it was released, however these tools have never surfaced.

Online multiplayer has been broken since (insert year here) when DIsney shut down the servers. But it is possible to play long distance on Tunngle.

Simply put: It's a good, simple, nostalgic RTS space battle game based off of a good movie. Although it's still identical to the retail version, the biggest difference is that it's more accessable to fans and people who have never played it.

(P.S. Shoutout to Kerberos Productions, as many of the developers from Barking Dog Studios/Rockstar Vancouver that worked on this founded Kerberos, which still makes games today)

Underrated movie, underrated game

How to fix Display for Windows 10 (with steps)

Hello, I think I figured it out. I went back a few pages in the Discussions tab of the games Community and found a thread. Quote Spectral: "TIP: If you have Windows 8 through 10, you can alter their properties by changing the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3. Secondly, you may change the resolution to 640x480 scale."

I went on Google and searched "how to change the compatibility mode to Windows XP Service Pack 3" of a game.

This is what I did on Windows 10 PC (not Macbook):

Steps:

1. Launch game in whatever state it is in (click Play on Steam) (I just bought it, did nothing to it/ did not change any game code or alter any text in files or folders). Launch it from Steam like every other normal game.

2. Game will launch in full screen mode. Hit the Windows key (button between CTRL and ALT on the left side of keyboard), it should bring you to your desktop and the game should be minimized as an icon on the bottom of your desktop in the taskbar (the access point for programs displayed on the desktop).

3. Right click on the game icon in the taskbar with the right mouse button (it looks like a shell) (while the game is running)

4. You should see 3 options after you rick click with mouse button. 1. Close window, 2. Pin to taskbar, and 3. tp_win32. Right click (with right mouse button) on " tp_win32 ". You should see 5 options again: 1. Open, 2. Run as administrator, 3. Pin to Start, 4. Pin to Taskbar, and 5. PROPERTIES at the very bottom. Left click with left mouse button on Properties. DO NOT go searching for any other PROPERTIES folder or option. This is the only properties that has the COMPATABLITY tab.

5. Once inside Properties (name of box that pops up is tp-win32 Properties) , there are a few tabs. General, Compatibility, Security, Details, Previous Versions. Click on Compatibility tab at the top.

6. Inside the Compatibility tab, Look for the box where it says "Compatibility mode". Click the check mark on the left next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select Windows XP (Servicec Pack 3) from a list of:

Windows 95
Windows 98 / Windows me
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
Windows XP (Service Pack 3) (PICK THIS ONE)
Windows Vista
Windows Vista (Service Pack 1)
Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)
Windows 7
Windows 8


7. DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING ELSE IN THE "SETTINGS" BOX (not sure if this will mess anything else up)

8. Click APPLY in the bottom right corner (of the tp_win32 Properties Box). The box should close after you hit apply.

9. I don't remember what happens next, I think the game glitches a little bit trying to start up but close the game (or the game will close itself) and Launch/Play the game from Steam again like normal/other games.

10. At this point, you should see the game as "full screen" while it is full screen (the problem is fixed). Before there was a big back button that was missing at the bottom of the game. If you went into the games options, you could not go back. If you launch the game as it is/was with the messed up screen, it is missing a lot of the texture art (all the settings in the display are set on low. Set them all on high. And click apply in the game and then the big back button to start the single player campaign).

11. In the Display settings, set the resolution on the lowest resolution possible (640 x 800 whatever). Any resolution that is higher will make the fullscreen screen on desktop shrink and the screen will get smaller and smaller with the higher resolution you pick.

At this point I think the game should work just fine. I have no idea yet. Just wanted to make a how to do guide first. I think I got lucky in figuring this out. I have a feeling I did this when I was younger, but now I guess I am old. Whatever.

mod packs for this 22 year old game exist with the most recent one as far as I can tell coming out Summer 2023, they are VERY fun and make this great little relic that much more amazing.
