If I remember correctly, I played this game, and it ended after traveling at hyperspeed. At the end, it said something like, "Go get episode 2." I think I played a shareware version at the time, but no copies of the game were available at my local computer store back then. Sadly, the internet wasn't around at that time, so I forgot about the game. Now, I wonder where the exploration could have gone. I remember playing Star Control II and Wing Commander—great times! Nowadays, I enjoy exploring universes like in No Man's Sky. ;)

Space RPG with ship upgrades and energy management in pixelated 2D graphics. Played episode 1 about 30y ago and I still cannot stop thinking about this game. Please bring it to GOG.
