Planetfall (Argus Press)

Since the Wars of Intercession were won there has been a pretty rotten time trying to build a civilisation around the Galaxy.

In Planetfall you must sell goods to various stars to develop them. This is a game of skill and strategy. The computer will haggle with you to add the element of skill which is so often left out of games.

At first the number of players must be entered. One player cannot play by himself, which puts obvious restriction on the game. Next other names like ship names and your name must be entered.

The game is complicated and may be saved on to tape. It is written in BASIC. The graphics for this sort of game are superb. There is little sound. For strategy fanatics a good buy.
