[QUOTE="lyle.spade, post: 7746258, member: 30042"] I played what I believe was the original version, on 5.25" floppy disks, in the late 80s on my Apple IIc. I remember the space stations were all d20s and the dogfighting and trading made for a really interesting, immersive game. In retrospect, it was way ahead of its time, and was amazingly playable given (what we now consider to be) the limitations of the technology. The RPG, based on the free Quickstart I read, looks pretty generic, with a system that seems, mechanically, to be almost a close of R. Talsorian's Cyberpunk:2020. I'd love to read a review and feedback from someone who owns and has played it. Any takers? I ask because I am in search of a good science fiction system, preferably with an interesting world. Note: I've played FFG's Star Wars and grew tired of the dice system. Traveller, although it has major nostalgia value for me, is ultimately based on a really clunky, old system. Starfinder is Pathfinder and we hates the Baggins too-crunchy Pathfinder forever. So now you have context. :) [/QUOTE]
