It was a cool game and I really liked it when I was a kid.
Especially the ship design section and the assortment of highly original alien species got me
But it also got a lot of flaws:
Tedious colony managment with exponentially increasing overhead
Unfair , cheating , but nevertheless stupid AI
Fiddly and confusing navigation
NO MULTIPLAYER (that one really pissed me off)
But still a game of high nostalgic value for me
