How it feels
A tense, retro space-combat sim where quick reflexes and tactical dodging keep you alive amid pirate ambushes and cantina tales.

What players say
Players call this a daring 1989 Origin Systems hybrid of space combat, RPG and trading that was ahead of its time. The Newtonian physics and freedom to land on planets are cited as remarkable, but the UI, dated graphics and lack of included manual make it a rough experience without nostalgia.
