User Reviews

The unofficial "Starflight 3". Has a lot of atmosphere, good music but is much too short.

Trivia

The CD version of Protostar does not differ from the floppy version. However, the CD contains eight audio tracks with synthesized versions of the game songs and the “Bonus CD-Audio Program ‘The Making of Protostar’” – about 40 minutes of audio commentary by the game designers, programmers and animators.
