What players say
Players are overwhelmingly nostalgic about this 1988 RPG, praising its ambitious scope and the deep connection they feel with their custom-named crew. Newcomers find it dated and heavily reliant on the manual to even leave port, with a split on whether the repetitive gameplay holds up for long.
