Visually stimulating and a nice array of options. In response to the person who mentioned that it would have been cool in the 80's...that maybe so...but..it was never done...and it would never have been available with this many options. Nicely made!

My favorite ever. Visually much more pleasing than the DirectX clouds of Galaxies 5.0. On a fast machine with lots of memory and 50,000 stars, it's eye candy that's like a good ride.
