I bought Starflight a couple weeks ago.  I haven't really had a chance to
play with it much, but what I've seen so far doesn't impress me.  The
graphics are designed for a far inferior machine (it was originally written
for Commodore or Atari and has been translated to the Mac).   The
interface could be improved quite a bit.  The worst problem is that if you
click the mouse anywhere outside a button a system error (bus error, I think)
occurs.  That can get _VERY_ annoying.  And if I remember right, it doesn't
work with any system > 6.0.3.

The game itself may have some virtues, but considering the aforementioned
bugs it's just a waste of money.

Mike.
