StarFlight - Amiga - Gaming Memories and Review

StarFlight; A love letter to Star Trek which manages to stand on its own through its incredible story. While not the best in terms of its individual RPG elements, I view it as one of the best overall games of all time. Along with games such as Pirates, it transcends genre, standing on its own. Non-linear, open world, the story itself is the puzzle, pieced together as you travel the galaxy. I loved it as a kid for its Star Trek feel, and I love it even more now for its moral ambiguity. All Amiga gameplay captured from my actual NTSC Amiga 500 as designed, video recorded off 4:3 composite CRT. Comparison footage with DOS/C64/Genesis all my actual hardware, CRTs. Comparison footage of Atari ST emulated (STeem) CRT, Mac B&W and color emulated (Basilisk) CRT. Full manually written captions available.
