About
It is a time of turmoil in the galaxy. Following the disappearance of the Defender of the Universe, the Galactic Presidency has been dissolved and anarchy reigns. With the galaxy divided into three distinct zones, the Galactic Police and the Culthorpe pirate family are engaged in a cold war from across the Lifeless Zone. Life has never been more dangerous for the people of the universe, doubly so for those who make a living flying from planet to planet. And to make matters worse, an invisible conspiracy is threatening life itself.

Simplistic but solid visuals and a dose of sci-fi nerd humor punctuates this offering by Yahtzee, but it seems clear that he couldn't decide where the game's focus should be -- and the end result is combat that's watered down and simplistic, side quests that are repetitive and a story line that could have used some more focus and effort. Overall it is still a game that most people should find enjoyable.

Although there are some repetitive bits, this is thoroughly worthy of a place in the AGS Hall of Fame (theoretical though that hall may be) - definitely worth a play if you haven't already!
The story was really great, but some of the puzzles were repetitive (space travel). I think that more puzzles with the Redshirts could have helped. Also, there could have been some bleeping console sounds while in the cockpit of the space ship to give a better feeling of being into space, instead of no sounds/music. Because that's where I've spent most of my time, trying to make some money.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed the game! Loved the humor and the main characters. But with better graphics, it would have ROCKED!
Very good job on this one!

I just realized I had a copy of this game and the original download *IS* gone. Anyone who wants to play this little gem can find it here: http://castironmuse.com/games/GFW.zip

Incredible!
This game is a hybrid between adventure, RPG and trading game with lots of minigames and sidequests. Very impressive that this is possible with AGS.
And all of the parts work together. I spent ours on trading to improve my ship. A soon as you get bored with that, you can go back on the main quest or a sidequest or...
Good game, I like the mix adventure / free space fly. But I'm a bit lost for the moment.
