Dear God, let it be and sign me up! Starflight was my first computer game.  :smitten:

Starflight 1, when it loads, starts with the little guy tapping his foot. First game my wife ever got into.

Oddly, every time you saved the game, it rewrote the executable. To start a new game, you had to reinstall the entire program. Still a great game, and if they remastered it, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Never played either of the first two....but the trailer for 3 is certainly intriguing.  One to follow.

If you can get past the graphics that's worth it.  O0

I loved the original Starflight but could never get the sequel to load on my dad's Zenith 0086 machine!  Ah, those were the good old days!!

I'll never forget the first time I defeated a Gazurtoid (?) gunboat, I felt like hot crap.  Until I encountered my first Uhlek ship...

One of the best games I've ever played.   This is like Christmas.
"These men do not want a happy ship. They are deeply sick and try to compensate by making me feel miserable. Last week was my birthday. Nobody even said "happy birthday" to me. Someday this tape will be played and then they'll feel sorry."  - Sgt. Pinback
