Re:I contend Star Flight 1 & 2 were the best (Score 2, Informative)

I'll have to chime and say "here here" on this one. The Starflight series were outstanding. I'll admit I never finished the game, but then again, I don't think you could finish the game, can you? The only other game that I found to be of a competitive value was Elite on the Commodore 64. However, that was a bit of a pirate/trading game and didn't let you explore planets. Heck, I even had my C64 friends banging on my door at all hours of the day so we could all sit around a computer and play Starflight together (maybe I shouldn't have admitted that). I think our ultimate personal goal was to find Earth, however that never happened.
