- I bought StarFlight for the Amiga some years back and had a great time
- with it. The best thing is how well the game environment changes based
- on your actions. Example, if you become friendly with alien A then
- alien B who is at war with them will be unfriendly to you. The graphics
- weren't exceptional but they weren't distracting either. The game is
- very open ended and each alien race has its own peculiar personality. All
- in all I give it a thumbs up.
-
- A sequel was made on the PC but I don't know if it was ever ported.

- Have fun,

- By the way, I played it on an A500 w/ 1Meg and OS1.3, don't know if
- it works on 2.0.
