Is it still worth playing?
Origin Systems' 1990 space flight simulation, directed by Chris Roberts. A nameless second lieutenant flies from the carrier Tiger's Claw in a war against the Kilrathi Empire. Four fighters are available, assigned per mission, differing in shields, armor, maneuverability and weapons, from lasers to mass drivers and missiles. Missions include patrols, search and destroy and escorts, with waypoints, asteroid fields and capital ship fights, and a wingman you can give attack orders. The story branches: the game continues even when you fail objectives as long as you survive, and the carrier jumps to new star systems depending on how you do. Wingmen can die, with in game funerals. A story that bends with your missions and wingmen who can die still make every sortie matter.
