This game is, strangely enough, one of the best portrayals of eldritch Sci-Fi Horror in a video game. It's just you and your tiny ship hopelessly wandering the vast, bleak emptiness in space until Sinistar awakens and begins his untiring rampage. You can never defeat Sinistar - the best you can do is slow him down - and that gives this game a real haunting quality that I wonder is intentional or a just happy little accident from a studio that just wanted to make a cool space game.
