A very fun (and funny) space adventure. Quite impressed with how reactive and dense it is for its age

This game would be an incredible achievement if it came out today;. That it was made in 1992 is nothing short of a miracle.

If you like exploration or spaceships or aliens or classic Fallout style RPGs then you owe it to yourself to boot up The Ur-Quan Masters right the hell now. If you don't have the time at least check out the soundtrack, which is nothing but bops.

Everyone should play this I think (but specifically the open source port called The Ur-Quan Masters)

it's one of the bestest games ever and readily available for free, hence why it has less reviews here than Starfield at the day of its release

An incredible space adventure that is at times both silly and serious. Brilliant alien designs, a real feeling of exploration and a dose of Star Trek-esque problem solving make it a one-of-a-kind experience. My only critique is that some plot-important planets are hard to locate.
