This is a strategy game born from the old telnet project of games, its entirely text based, I did hear they are working on a GUI version. You pilot vessels, trade within galaxies the three main elements of gas, alcohol and hardware, you build starbases and form alliances with other players, your goal is to travel to the most mineral rich galaxies and obtain the most resources within a scheduled time. There are over thousand different galaxies each with its own supplies and planets you can land on and fortify with starbases, but watch out for the Black Holes they take you to different galaxy sectors. Other features include but not limited to -- gambling, upgrading ship hulls, weapons, shields, equipping your ship with rocket boosters and so on. The real selling point of this game is that if you don't mind the lack of GUI, then you'll appreciate a game without lag (finally!) Otherwise this game may not be for you. Again this game is in the strategy genre for good reason and you may come to appreciate it within time. Did I mention it's free. :-)

Overall Rating: B+
