Anyone else playing it yet?

Its quite amazing to see the depth that they put into games in the old days. Obviously its alot of text, but it works really well.

The diffrent spaceports feature a 4 second sound loop giving you the impression that each one of them is unique and interresting, and its suprisingly hard to get a break as a rookie captain.

a true gem really.

You might also appreciate Space Rangers 2 - Reboot/Reloaded, Transcendence (which I personally found far more enjoyable than EV-N), or Children of Men. Ehue. :drunk:

More of a re-re-release. Same core, new embellishments. Entertaining, yet may not be enticingly fresh to those of us who played the original.

As I understand it, they dispensed with Starforce, too. Woo. :drunk:

Space Rangers 2 was already pretty fun, if this adds any replayability, it's good news.
