Lost Admiral Returns is the creation
of Fogstone Games and Thurston Searfoss. The game is
inspired by the original Lost Admiral game created by
Thurston Searfoss, QQP, and Bruce Williams in 1991.
The Lost Admiral won several awards,
including "Strategy Game of the Year 1992"
from Computer Gaming World Magazine. There is still
a loyal following of people playing the original game
over 12 years later, which has been the impetus for
this new version to bring the world of Lost Admiral
into the modern era of the Internet.

A variety of people have helped Lost
Admiral Returns become a reality through production
of the game, artwork, website work, Internet capabilities,
inspiration, and more...
Thurston Searfoss has done all the design
work, business management, software development, and
other odd jobs to bring Lost Admiral Returns to life.
Patrick McLane created the bulk of the
artwork in the game, including both 2D and 3D artwork.
He also put together many of the audio samples in the
game.
Mark
Howison also created some of the artwork and created
the wonderful website layouts along with many other
nuts and bolts of the Lost Admiral Returns sites.
Dave Cousins and Jason Plata have been
brought on board in October 2003 to help update and
finish various graphics, LAR website updates, edit
various maps, combat scripts, and other parts of the LAR
game.
Jamie Rodell has been helping with
additional onsite beta testing since June 2004.
Thurston's family members, business
associates, and friends have helped immensely with patience,
encouragement, finances, and feedback: Leslie Searfoss,
Amelia Searfoss, Patricia Searfoss, Bill Burt, Rob O'Connel,
Robert Ireton-Hewitt, Andy Visscher, Bill Magnum, and
the many people who have asked for a newer version of
Lost Admiral and my other games published with QQP.
There have been many dedicated testers
and fans of LAR who have sent persistent, helpful
feedback to Fogstone Games for rounding out LAR over
time. Names amongst many are: Al Toth, Glen Paul,
Mark Buehler, Allen Morgan, Anthony Zigarelli, Duane
Gravley, Alan How, Alan Trail, Stefan Ibarguen, Oliver
Schenk, Bob Strobbe, Steve Macfarlane, Lonnie Falk,
