[PC] Starflight

[Jamcat]

Check out this cool oldie sci-fi RPG.

Starflight begins with leaving you mostly in the dark on events currently unfolding in the galaxy. You find yourself on Arth, an underground colony of humans that survived the fall of Earth and the Old Empire after the Great Interstellar War recently after the rediscovery of interstellar space flight and endurium fuel. You are given a ship, some money, some fuel, and told to hire and train a crew then go out and gather information.

The game has an open universe that allows the player to ultimately do as they want... (with some consequences for taking riskier chances such as running out of fuel, pissing off alien cultures, or exploding death) plumbing the depths of the game through interspecies interaction, mining, and exploration; reveals an interweaving layer of plot that links the past to present events. With two hundred and seventy star systems and a bunch of strange alien races it offers lengthly play and good replayability.

I can't help but notice the character's name of "Captain Jack". *snickers*

The way it's described, it sounds almost like an early ancestor of Mass Effect.

I played a port of this game on the Sega Genesis way back when.

It was pretty cool. For some reason the coolest feature of the game for me was being able to name my ship. :lol:

It was fairly hard.

Needless to say, I lost a lot of fine crewmen and several ships before getting the handle of the game.
