I've certainly heard of star control before, and of the D&D games, and there
are still more on the net for example I heard about a game called
transcendence created by the same developer as that text based sf empire
building game anacreon, but unfortunately it's fully graphical and the
combat is real time despite it having skills, plot, exploration, npc
interaction, different characters and such.
This is again what is frustrating, sinse though there are lots of text based
scifi empire building mmorpgs, scifi trading morpgs, or scifi spaceship
flying mmorpgs, all of them are basically focused on roleplay, raising stats
and beating the other player, not on what is for me the most interesting
thing about a scifi setting, seaking out new worlds, exploring new life and
new civilizations etc.
The only exception is core exiles, but even there the exploration system
isn't as major a part of the game as I would like, and also much of the
focus of the game is on economics, production and advancement, ---- though
exploration sis a little more of a mainstream activity than the sideline
affair it used to be.
Still, I'd love to see a game where full ship flying and exploration of the
area around you was the main focus, just the way that in alter there are
massive mazelike zones with interesting things to find in them and the
explorer points system even rewards you for doing so.
Beware the grue!
