ATARI PRESENTS is a series of titles geared toward the preservation of cult classics, forgotten favorites, and titles that would otherwise be lost to time. In the spirit of that, each ATARI PRESENTS title is presented unchanged from its original version other than providing the means to play them on modern hardware. Even the store description below is the very same language used to describe the title at the time of its release. Please enjoy! You're the only human in a huge, robotic space ship, flying at incredible speeds through deep space. Your mission: find and settle a new planet where humanity can thrive. Combat is inevitable, but you'll need more than flying skills to succeed. You'll also need resourcefulness, charm and political skill to help you negotiate with the bizarre, intelligent - sometimes hostile - beings who correctly see you as the alien. 3D Combat Flight Simulation Like You've Never Seen Earth-bound simulations spend most of their graphic power on landmarks and other terrain. But since there's no terrain in the black void of out space, Lightspeed devotes its Super 3D Graphics power to showing space ships in breathtaking detail and animating them with unprecedented smoothness. - Pilot a starship 15,000 feet long - Customize your ship for the performance you need - Control remote fightercraft in strategic battles with intelligent enemies Fascinating Role-Playing Depth Multiple star clusters await your exploration, each with unique challenges. A dozen solar systems spin through each cluster; scores of planets revolve around each sun. Most important, 25 species of aliens require your constant attention. - The Broodsmasters - sinister, manipulative and eager for universal domination - The Lutin - quasi-intelligent, with no memory and no concept of the future - The Cicisbeo - totally self-absorbed, vain and arrogant
