The soundtrack is quite nostalgic, anyone here remember the song "Son, be a colonist"?

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This game is from 96, so don't expect high graphics or super depth, your smart phone has higher capabilities then the computers of that era.

Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
Combat is fun despite the dated look of the graphics however you can easily beat the game without getting involve in battle at all.
