This was the first computer rpg I played and is still my favorite. Even without fancy 3D graphics, you can't help but get immersed in the game.

It's hard, it's grindy and it's hard to understand how the game works without a manual. But if you're into that kinda retro stuff, this game can be worth it. Do NOT buy this if you want something that's relatively easy to get into :D. Thusfar I'm having fun, though I need to install some macro program to spam heal my crew when they're downed. I would recommend picking up the remastered variant, it's practically the same with some very minor QoL improvements. Also less need for the manual as text is integrated.
