Game description:

You play as a techno scavenger in the year 2049, exploring the Koronis Rift, in one of Lucasfilms earliest games.

The Ancients abandoned the planet, leaving behind many different artifacts and ships, which you can loot. Send your droid to retrieve modules and try to figure out what the ancient technology is for. It could be batteries, shields or even weapons, to help you fight the trigger-happy saucers that want you dead.

The game uses fractal graphics, the terrain is vast and detailed, and the story behind it is quite complex, considering the type of game.


What I think:

Unique game and really smooth framerate for such a rather early 3D game (although 1985 might be not that early anymore for 3D games...).

The gameplay itself isn't bad either, but it is certainly not for everyone.
