I bought one of the copies of Starflight that they got in at the
store George works at and it is great!  I had the (for give me)
IBM version and played it to death now my Amiga version will be 
racking up the interstellar miles!  The graphics have been reworked
and they are very good.  Game play is still pretty much the same
(mouseified though!).  The only thing I can see that has been added
to help game play is an "auto-pickup" on the planetside terrain
vehicle display (great option! Only works with minerals though.).

Like the quote George! Heh heh heh

Does anyone know if Sentinal Worlds I is in the works from EA?
Great game and would really be done justice on the Amiga!
