I love this game, only discovered it in the early 2000's and played it on emulator. The genesis version is my favourite and its very deep and complex. I don't think I've ever gotten very far with it, but I love the concept.

It was\is really complex, the original had no "do over" unless you copied the floppy disk and played the copy.

I'm going to try it tonight :)
OMG this walkthrough answers so many of my questions. No wonder I get destroyed by this game I've been making practially all the decisions wrongs hahaha.
Reminds me of star control!
I'm not familiar with that one! I'll see if I can find it.
I did rekick my gog account to play this game yet again.. Next is Thexter, I bet I have it wrong.
Sega genesis game, but it was also on PC I think. Really good.
I played Starflight a lot on Commodore 64. Never got too far but I always enjoyed exploring. Game was crazy ahead of its time.
the Genesis/Megadrive version is way better overall tho, that's my go-to for emulating the game
