Space Rogue

Space Rogue

"Space Rogue" is a science fiction computer game released in 1989 by Origin Systems, makers of the hit Ultima series, for the Apple II and Commodore 64 and later ported to the PC, Macintosh, Amiga, Atari ST and FM Towns. The game combined elements of both a space combat simulator and a roleplaying game. It is notable for being the last game designed for Origin by Paul Neurath before he went on to found Blue Sky Productions (later renamed Looking Glass Studios).

The player takes on the role of a space traveller who is sent by his captain to investigate a derelict spacecraft. While he is onboard, aliens attack his mothership and destroy it. He is left with the small craft he was sent to investigate, with little money and no ties. Players decided their fate from there. They could engage in piracy, hunt bounties, become interstellar merchants or become embroiled in the interplanetary politics.
