My friend has this game and I love it. To each his own I guess. It's more
of a simulation than an arcade game. You work your way up thru the ranks
of scout up to head trader of the galaxy. It looks and plays a lot like
Elite. If you want fast action arcade play, this is NOT the game for you.
But if you just want an interesting game that really has no ending, just
something to boot up and wile away a few hours here and there, then you
will like it. 

My friend found sort of a bug in it. If you go to buy an item, buy all
of it up. The price will sky rocket. sell it back to the market at a tidy
profit. do it again, and again.
