Megalomaniac — 2 Oct 2022
An adequate recreation of the sport, but it feels a bit detached at times, with only moderate influence on the outcome of the plays. Also, its shambolic that we got such a cutdown version compared to that other computer - instead of cutting it down to fit on single-sided disks, couldn't they have put the excess pictures on Side B, the way Flood and Carrier Command did with their 'luxury' features? The fact that ST Action were supposedly given a copy containing the extra pictures to review makes it worse.

I had this game back in the late 80s but accidentally modified it so I had a special team with very fast runners. Miss that game
