Started a new game. Went to Venus and did the planetary battle tutorial. Well, sort of. I couldn’t do the first part, so just won the level without any tutorial messages. Might try that again some time, then. Hard to control with a trackpad without knowing any shortcut keys. Might see if I can find

I’d forgotten how much this game likes to kill you. I played one game, in which I did the tutorial missions, then got killed by a pirate as soon as I’d finished. I started a second game, did the tutorial missions again (with a quick detour to sell some weapons to a planet experiencing a

Except, not. It was crashing out on start up and it took me so long to find a fix that I didn’t get a chance to actually play it. It at least gets to the main menu now, though.

Okay, this is getting weird. One part of the tutorial is to destroy a robot ship. Last time I tried I got blown up by that transport I’d attacked on the way into the system and so died. Now, this time I tried again and was being constantly followed around by Ranger Roger. Apparently I

Two more deaths without completing the tutorial. How was I to know transport ships (a) have weapons and (b) bear grudges and (c) have friends? I’m getting into this, though. And I’m quite glad about the last death. I forgot to change my name and everybody called me Timothy, which was very odd. (The other

Okay, this is slightly complicated. Space Rangers and Space Rangers II are both games for Windows PCs. They’ve both recently been released on one disc under the name Space Rangers and so some people are reviewing Space Rangers II – which is, obviously, the game of choice to play – as Space Rangers. But I’ll
