• I'm glad I did not pay money for this game

  morlaineOctober 20, 2011

  Pros

  If you enjoy games that are reminiscent of the old DOS games you will probably like this game.

  Cons

  Not on a par with other games that I enjoy.

  Summary

  I enjoy time management and tycoon type games and from the description I thought this would be a game that I would enjoy. I was going to buy it but the Ebay seller was sold out so I searched on the internet and found where I could try it first. I'm glad that I got to try it before I bought it. It reminded me of the old DOS games that I used to play when I was much, much younger. I wasn't all that keen on them back then and that hasn't changed. But if you enjoy that type of game you will probably like this one. But, personally, it was not for me and I would have been very disappointed if I'd paid money for it.

• Excellent space trading game

  brisey2March 16, 2006

  Pros

  This is a suprisngly addictive game. Its similar to Elite, or privateer or similar games, except you arent buying and selling cargo, but actually running a space travel company. Lots to do, lots of variety, great fun

  Cons

  Its in 2D, but apart from some little kids who take offence at that, its no problem.

• Fun and hard at the same time

  January 15, 2005

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  Well I enjoyed this game but it took me a while to figure it out. Besides the loong download time (I have DSL and it took me 45 mins to download it).... Its a little frustrating, hard to navigate, but once you get the hang of it..its worth the effort. I kept running out of gas lol. It's a great concept for a tycoon game. My main point is that don't give up on the game. If you don't instantly get it no worries. It takes some practice :)

• Excellent game with lots to do

  January 9, 2005

  Pros

  Cons

  Summary

  This is one of those games that keeps suprising you with new stuff to do and new ways to win. Its seriously hard to make money with the foodstuff cargo for example, but great fun ocne youve trie all the other ways. It also runs really fast on my system (my PC is quite old) and looks great. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys simulation/business sim stuff.
