Technically, it’s Starflight 1 & 2. The first Starflight was a few years old when I played this game in college, so do not expect the cover to be representative of the graphics. Let me put it this way: Starflight is old enough to run for President.
But, again: greatest science fiction exploration game ever. I will die on this hill. Singing the song of Starflight:
I have to agree with your assessment. I remember spending many hours juggling 5 1/4″ disks on my PC playing that game (and hoping nothing went wrong with the save).
I haven’t looked too closely at the GoG page, so I wonder how they handle the “copy protection” I recall from the original.
I’ve been looking for something that scratches that itch, and I think Starcom: Unknown Space (on Steam) comes closer than anything else I’ve played in the last couple of decades. But it’s certainly tempting to reinstall the original and play it.
They’d have to do *something* about that. I mean, I think I still have the wheel, but damned if I’m sure.
