I bought this game for PS-one when it was first released. I've always enjoyed flight simulators and I believed a true-to-form space sim would be amazing. The reviews at the time were excellent so I bought it untested.
Truly this was a beautiful game, I enjoyed the missions at first, though I found them quite challenging. You follow a course in the game, and if you do poorly in a stage your course worsens until, eventually, you lose. I lost quite a bit at this game and never really won. Maybe this wasn't one for me, but I did appreciate the gameplay and the graphics, and I do like a good challenge, it was just too hard.
