Starflight 2: Trade Routes of the Cloud Nebula
Starflight 2 keeps all the great gameplay of its predecessor, but makes everything bigger and better. Many aspects of the game were vastly enhanced: the game’s diplomacy, the size of the galaxy, and the number of alien races you can interact with are all improved the second time out. The gameplay—if not the graphics—are reminiscent of another classic game in our catalog where you wander around the galaxy exploring stars and chatting with humorous aliens who want to control the galaxy. The plot starts you out in a standard science fiction mode, but it builds to a fascinating and satisfying climax at the end. Basically, if you enjoyed Starflight 1, the sequel will be right up your alley. A milestone in the history of space opera adventure, the elements of which are used in games to this day. Wonderful story with absolutely non-linear gameplay and an entire galaxy to explore. Unique alien races, each with its own individual (and sometimes comical) personality, behavior, and values.
