The co-pilot and engineer of a passenger jet struggle to keep the plane airborne until it can reach an open airfield after a killer aboard the plane fires a gun at an engine and pilot of the plane. Starflight is a revamp of one of the best games ever made for IBM PC's. Electronic Arts programmed both versions, and the move to the Genesis hasn't hurt a bit. This game is a one player game. All commands are menu driven and relatively easy to master. The graphics are out of this world. They feature several sharp viewing perspectives depending.

LearningWithLeaper 2016-11-15 6 pointsMy father (rip) used to play this game all the time when I was a kid on our tandy. I remember the map being tacked to the wall in the office and sitting with him as he played. Finally when I got older I dug out his original game box and downloaded dosbox and a version of this game to play on my computer. I told him about it and got him into it again, it was one thing me and my father could talk about that we were both doing. This game brings so many fond memories, and I'm happy to have found it again. Vryus 2013-05-16 0 point DOS versionI played this game with a friend in the basement for HOURS when it first came out. We played this game to death.

We plotted routes on the starmap, calculated fuel and explored the wildlife on planets. We even had several incredibly intense hours moving through nebulas and watching the motion detection warnings as we tried to outrun the Uhlek. Amazing game. I still play it every so often today.The 'hint book' that was published is a great read, especially the end. GnomeLeveler 2008-04-23 0 point DOS versionI played this with my friend for an entire summer back when it first came out. We hardly saw daylight for days at a time. And that's quite extraordinary for a game of that era - it offered an order of magnitude longer gameplay than anything else.
The universe literally seemed as big as 'the universe'. I didn't pay attention to the plot, choosing instead to just trick-out my ship and try to blow up other people as much as possible. Later, I discovered the plot, and it is INTENSE. We're talking Kaiser Sose kind of intense. I highly recommend this game!
