Is it still worth playing?

Totally Games' 1999 space simulation for Windows, in which you play Ace Azzameen, who flies for the Rebel Alliance and also flies freighters for his family's business. Energy weapons can be linked to fire together, and rudder support was added. On multi crew ships, such as the Millennium Falcon, you can pilot or operate a turret, while the computer fills any empty position and takes your orders. You can enter a ship's hangar bay to rearm and repair, and multi part missions use hyperjumps between regions. A custom mission builder sets up battles with nearly every vessel in the game. Mail delivered between missions expands the pilot's backstory. The storyline is linear, with three mission skips, and the family missions cannot be skipped. Crews you can fill and hangars you return to make each battle more than a single run today.
