Default Re: Do you play non-PC/console space combat games ?

Never actually played this one (and neither has my dad!) but my dad has a really weird game called "Starforce Alpha Centauri"... how weird, you ask? OK, first of all, propulsion in this game is not done using engines... instead, specially trained crew women (only women, it doesn't work with men) use their psionic powers to move their "Starforces" (all ships are tracked in fleets of 4, unless you're playing the advanced game, in which you can split them up into "Fakerforces" of 1-3 ships) around... combat does not involve cannons or beams or missiles or anything, but instead "combat casting", something akin to the Telekinetic Projector... and - get this - the game's in 3D, but the Z position of your opponent's ships is hidden from your view, so an enemy Starforce could be one "lite-zulu" away on the board, but really be 20 "lite-zulus" away on the Z axis!

Now you see why we never played that game?
