Description
Dropping out of hyperspace, you lay a course for Lagrange Station. Suddenly, the klaxon screams out a warning. Two Darts and a Corsair, closing fast. Pirates!
You roll hard to avoid the incoming plasma torps. One hits, knocking down your rear shield. Spinning to protect your stern, you launch a heat seeker...
Direct hit: the Corsair bursts into shards. Stunned, the Darts run for deep space.
Later, over a pint of Rigelian in the Lagrange cantina, you listen as a bounty hunter tells of the Scarlet Brotherhood, the most notorious band of pirates in the Far Arm. You hope it wasn't one of their Corsairs you vaporized out there ...
Inspired Space Flight Simulation!
Trek through an astonishingly realistic universe with outposts and mining stations, planets and asteroids, stars and starships - all in spectacular 3D graphics.
Watch combat from cockpit, chase plane, or cinematic camera angles.
Engage cunning foes in heated dogfights, where you'll have to outgun and outsmart your opponents to taste victory.
Outfit your ship with plasma torpedoes, plasteel armor, particle beams, missiles, force shields, ECM units and more.
Execute loops, rolls, and spins. Feel the tug of gravity as you whip around a star. Authentic spaceflight dynamics push your piloting skills to the limit.
Intense Role-Playing Adventure!
Make a fortune - and a name - trading cargo, bounty hunting, or plundering merchant ships. Every action you take affects your reputation, and who calls you friend or foe.
Meet and converse with the inhabitants of the Far Arm: Imperial troopers, merchant princes, talkative robots, and treacherous pirates.
Shop for starship hardware, do favors for aliens, carouse in bars - even play HIVE!, the galaxy's hottest arcade game.
You will be drawn into a web of intrigue; secret plots, assassination attempts, intergalactic war. Ultimately, the destiny of billions will hinge on your deeds.
I own this game back then when we still know Floppy disk (5.25 inch, everyone?). the game beside made by Origin (creator of Ultima series), despite the theme, is kinda bland in recent style and plot. No ship change (even the main weapon except for missiles), few upgrades and then, little to do to make a story (very linear one). Still, for early space sims, kinda decent.
Unless you want a nostalgia, stay from this one.
I never played this when it came out, I was too enamoured with Starflight 2, SSI's Star Command, Sentinel Worlds Volume 1: Future Magic and others. I actually just played this for the first time recently and, while I found it competent, I also found it super dull. The games mentioned above were also fairly open spacey RPG affairs, but in those games, I always felt like I had a purpose. A reason for being in that universe. Not so here, as I felt this game just...didn't have whatever it was that made me feel like I wanted to spend time there. As a Space Game Junkie, I can't really recommend this unless you have to own all the space games, like I do. ;)

What's with this price? You have nearly a 30 year old game priced like this? This is a pattern that GOG has developed. Nostalgia is one thing but not enough to spend the amount of money they're asking.
