    I remember as a kid/teen picking this up at a local Zellers in the discount bin. This was during the 386/486 processor days. By that time, the game was already considered pretty old, but I played the hell out of it and enjoyed it immensely.

    Funny thing is, I don't think there has been another game that has come close to emulating Starflight, at least that I know of. I think this game was probably the best one to capture the true spirit of Star Trek, though it had nothing to do with it.

    I actually consider it one of the better sci-fi stories written during that era.

    It was my favorite game in the mid-late 80s. I played it on the Commodore 128. I never could finish the very last battle with the Spemin. Must have missed something I needed somewhere.
