Summary

This game has a transcendental soul!

The Good

The story line is amazingly deep and wide, witch makes it possible to find something new each time you play it. The story line leaves a lot open, it does´t have a start nor ending that would conclude everything like you see in modern games. The dialogues were written... well better than in any scifi movies´ scripts (even the old star treks must kneel before the star control universe). You could say the aliens had characters witch were boosted with the great musics that supported the aliens´ various natures. And the humour all the quips and jokes ...aah and the lander teams´ reports... just splendid. Then the graphics. They were good and still are, because they had some effort put into them. Though the resolution was low the vessels had changing shadows that were made pixel by pixel (I edited couple of ships and man it takes time and strains your eyes ) you gotta raise your hat for that.

The Bad

Therse not much. there could have been a bit more items and a good sequel made by Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford

The Bottom Line

SC est necesse , navigare non est necesse.
