Review and Download (if available)

This game was originally known as Mars Saga for the C-64.
One of my favorite things about it was if you didn't feel like following the plot you could just run around the city and beat people up.

I don't recall playing this game (I probably never stumble across it in the past).
How about the plotin the game , is it a decent one?

Anyway it's great to see old games that you pratically don't know about or never had the chance to play. ^_^

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Elwing @ Sep 6 2006, 09:54 AM) [snapback]253132[/snapback]</div>I played this game about 10 years ago and found the story to be quite good. I don't remember the storyline exactly but I do remember itching to keep playing since my characters were getting stronger and was getting deeper into the story. Something about an alien conspiracy...

I also remember playing this game, although it was more like 15 years ago.

The plot was the best part of it- the story was so rich, imaginative, and complex I can still think of it today. The gameplay was astoundingly poor, clumsy, and as the reviewer stated, REALLY BORING.

The storyline kept me playing for a month or two, but then i gave up was the gameplay frustrated me.

first post!! (been lurking for a while ;) )

i've actually been waiting to see this game at abandonia since i started coming here a couple years ago. I can recall playing this game nearly 12 years ago. it came in a "sci-fi" game collection with some kinda "death race" game, a wierd fighting game, another "eye of beholder-type" cyberpunk rpg and something else i cant remember. this was my favorite of them all. in fact i played this game before getting x-com! but not by much.

ive gotta dl this one for posterity

I like that game, can't explain why!! :D

However, there's something missing: The list of the weapons. At the training center, when you ask to train in a specific weapon skill, you are asked what lenght/weight it is and I can't figure what to type in. Maybe you could do the same way you did with Master of Orion, and upload a picture with all technical infos about the firearms :)

And, to say it again, I love this game and you did the review very well.

What it was doing in a collection called "Sci-Fi Power Hits" I dunno. It was a cool collection, though.

Oh, and props on your Niven-inspired name. Louis Wu is awesome!

Infocom also had a hand in making this game, there i've posted a useless fact :ok:


Edit: They were the publisher.

AFAIK, Infocom was both developer and publisher here.
