Description

This game is an epic adventure surrounding humanity in space. It has a combination of role-playing character building, team combat strategy, customizable spaceship combat, and adventure game exploration. Fly through space and explore the surfaces and bases of a few planets to unravel the mystery that's disturbing the known universe.

Most of the travelling is 2D, but the indoor corridors are 3D. The game features Paragraph books, where characters mention a paragraph number and you have to read from the booklet instead of getting the text in game. This functions as copy protection, making the game require guesswork to complete without the manual.

Trivia

Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic is especially enjoyable on machines with Tandy graphics and 3-voice sound ... it boasts some of the finest 3-voice music I have ever heard my Tandy produce.

Naturally, the PC speaker music that the CGA and EGA versions play pales in comparison ... in fact, there really is no comparison.
