I have played like hell to Starflight and Starflight II. I discover by accident Starflight III is under development.

Any player of this old game here?

Another fan here. And let's not forget the "rival", Star Control.

The sense of wonder was awesome. Comparable with the early "Ultima", only in space.

Still have the boxed game stored away somewhere in my garage. Think it was on 5 1/4 floppies maybe 3.5 not sure. My modern PC doesn't even have a CD drive let alone a floppy.

32 years ago they said... ugh my bones are creaking.

Amazing to have a DVD now for a game that you will hardly use and that the galaxy could fit on few floppy disks in 1990.

Wanna play it again?

I have played the first 2 Star Controls and I say those are still valid games today. Would you say the same about Starflight series?
