Describing Centauri Alliance as "The Bard's Tale in Space" would be fitting since it was designed by Michael Cranford , the creator of the first two Bard's Tale games. In this science fiction RPG, players build a party by designing characters from six different races and arming them with a variety of weapons and psychic powers. They then set off across a cluster of star systems on a secret mission to find a powerful super weapon and save the worlds of the Alliance from evil forces.

Centauri Alliance contains most of the standard RPG elements of late 80's games including first person 10' X 10' square adventuring maps, turn based combat and an ongoing quest to find bigger and better ways to kill things.

So yeah, this was my first time that I've played it (except for the character creating) and man, I really had to get used to the controls...other than that the game is good, although I wish you could see the enemies in a combat screen, similar to Bard's Tale.
