Description

In the distant 24th Century, on the far off world of Axia, located in a star cluster known as the Local Group, all is not well. Crime runs rampant, piracy and slavery go unopposed and oppresive governments rule. But far worse is the distressing news from Axia that for the past 80 days, not a single package has arrived from Earth. Launched via an acient piece of alien technology known as the Hyperspace Booster, these packages serve as the lifeblood of the Local Group. With travel to earth taking decades by conventional means, the Local Group is now in great peril.
 

Only 15 days ago, the Axian Central Educational Institute announced that it had evidence pointing to the presence of a hyperspace booster - somewhere in the Local Group. 

 

Your mission: locate the hyperspace booster. Your ship and crew aren't free, however, so during the course of your search, you are going to have to earn a living. Be the first to find the second hyperspace booster and your fortune is made. Fail, and a civilization encompassing 21 inhabited planets and 20 billion people will fall. 

 

The need for a hero has never been greater.

 

Features:

  • Purchase and customize your vary own starship
  • Hire on a crew and stock up on weapons
  • Explore the Local Group and fend of Pirate attacks
  • Trade supplies and earn enough to continue to travels

fun game, half done port

kew49094 is wrong about there being a bug but I can't really blame them for thinking that. After starting a new game and picking a ship, you don't move into option 2- "Starport", you first need to dock which is in option 3- "Explore Universe". Tucked away in the install location you'll find the game manual, why this isn't mentioned I have no idea- but you'll need it for the copy protection and to figure out the controls The copy protection will show up and you'll need to find a word in the manual. It's a bit annoying but since you use the manual to play anyway, I can forgive it. You use the Fn keys to control the game but I recommend using a keybinder to map those buttons to some more normal keys, like the arrows or the numpad. All in all its a fun game, it's missing out of the swanky font of the Atari 800 version, and the intro music is broken- but besides that I think this is the best way to play the game now. What with not having to swap disks out every few minutes.

copy protection and bad quality manual

el juego incluye un manual de mala calidad, no hay presupuesto para conseguir el manual original?, en 2025 deberiamos tener manuales escaneados con mejor calidad, ademas el juego pide una palabra como medida de proteccion, en otros juegos como "alone in the dark" o "the incredible machine" el juego ya tiene la proteccion removida. ------------------------------------------ The game includes a poor quality manual. Is there no budget to get the original manual? By 2025 we should have better quality scanned manuals. The game also requires a word as a protection measure. In other games like "Alone in the Dark" or "The Incredible Machine," the game already has the protection removed.

do not purchase

The game has a fatal bug in the very beginning and should not be in the store. After you select your ship and try to go to the starport to outfit you get an error telling you to load the flight disc and kicks you out of the game. How this was not caught before it was put in the store is beyond me. If there is a work around or correction I will change the rating but I do not see that asking.
