I played warp speed all the time when I was little. If you have ever played it you know it consists of repetitive battles...and repetitive battles...and repetitive battles...and clearing asteroids...and more repetitive battles. Sometimes you get to use a different ship.
To expand on Starflight description: You mine minerals and then go back to your home starport and sell them. Different minerals will sell for different amounts. You can also capture creatures and artefacts that can also be sold. The money you get from this allows you to train your crew and buy better equipment for your ship. This allows you to survive fights with the tougher aliens.
All the other titles you mentioned by Blue Sky were PC pots. Must be their speciality.
Also you might like to know you can get Starflight 1 and 2 (PC) for $2,99 in GOG.com's 50% off sale, which runs until January 2nd 2012, you get the manual and map and codes for them too!
Also Starflight II Ur-Quan Masters is now available for free in an updated form using part 3DO and part PC code. Well worth a look!
6:24 "Lovecraftinoids" is my generalized term for that sort of thing.
Some of those creatures look like they might have been based on sea creatures. Something about that opening theme song reminds me of 'Heavy Metal' (1981). The scene where you're walking around in the corridor of the ship reminds me of Space Quest 2 except with better graphics - and it even has foreground scrolling!
LOL! spemen!! ^_^

Good review old Chum! I must say I've played both of these games and am not a fan of either.

Also - You should just review/talk about Hercules the TV show. I used to love that when I was a kid!! Would be great to hear your views on it.
