Game description:
Due to an engine malfunction, your spaceship crashes on the planet Targ. Unlike your trusty vessel, you survive the crash and now have to find a way to get away from this planet. But hey, while you're at it, you might as well try to get some money off your unplanned stay on Targ.
You're a mercenary, and it just so happens that the two races on the planet are at war. So why not use that to your advantage and do some favors for each race... against cash?
You play this game in a first-person perspective with vector graphics. There's a huge planet for you to explore, you can walk around on it or take airborne vehicles to reach elevated locations.
What I think:
This is a REALLY interesting game. It is basically a mix of a flight simulator and a 3D GTA...with vector graphics.
But I think some may find it too slow (you know who you are!) or\and don't like the vector graphics (damn graphic whores...)
Anyways, I am just flying around in this video....kinda an exploring tour. There is a lot you can do in this game. You can go straight try to win the game, you can just fly around, you can shoot buildings, steal (or buy) vehicles....and mostly due to the free-roaming stuff you can do in this game I didn't bother with going onward to win the game (and even if I would've, you would have seen only the half of that solution) - there are enough videos of that kind, including a speedrun.
