It's a Roguelike. No sound, no graphics, a hundred key combination commands and the harshest learning curve I've ever encountered in a game. If you achieve even a basic victory in the first two months of play without cheating, you've done very well.
I've been playing it on and off for about 10 years, through a couple of dozen development versions to the current 1.1.1 release. Rather sadly, that release is bugged and you need to find a fan patch for it. The developer (there's only one) contracted a severe case of real life which killed development. I've beaten the game dozens of times and I still play and enjoy it. Maybe one day I'll win with a trollish merchant
Star Raiders in 1981 on my Atari 400. NOTHING has held me as long or impressed me as much since! In it's day, a day when everyone else was playing with ZX81's it was epic. I was of course 14 so perhaps easier to impress but back then it was incredible.
