A classic genre defining game which in its time went under appreciated. but to this day remains a masterpiece.

Initially, it was a challenge to control with a steep learning curve. It payed back with depth of simulation, gameplay and interaction with the environment.

Taking queues from Ultima Underworld (same developer) your character starts with nothing and very little information to go on - but the overall feeling of being overwhelmed at the task before you.

You find yourself crawling through a creepy space station littered with dead people; the only human interaction being data discs and email files to advance the story and your character. The hallways are haunted with the moans of the diseased and a little computer program named Shodan.

And she's quite a ****

If you can get your hands on this title - I recommend it, still to this day. It's been close to 10 years since I ripped open the plastic on that box, and I haven't yet forgotten.
