Who remembers the computer game

Reading the post on updated video games reminded me of my favorite computer game of all time. StarFlight was made right around 1988, and involved creating a crew to man your spaceship and going around and visiting other planets, gathering minerals, alien life forms, etc. There were hundreds and hundreds of planets to explore. If a planet had all the needed characteristics you could recommend it for colonization and earn extra cash for that. There was a goal to the game which involved finding artifacts and discovering why planets were being destroyed by talking to the other races, and eventually putting an end to the problem. I cant remember all the details, I just know I loved the game, and wish today’s computer games would spend a little less time on the graphics and a bit more time on the story line, and the actual play of the game. What good are fantastic graphics when you can complete the entire game in 8 hours of play? I got my money’s worth and then some out of StarFlight. The game creators of today could take a hint from games like that.
