Sundog
(FTL Games, 1985, Apple][e)
 Another entrant into
Techtite's list of Top
50 Multimedia Classics, this strategy game put you in
the role of a Han Solo-type space smuggler. How lawful of a smuggler
were you? Well, that was up to you. On the one hand, there were
legal items to ship, although space pirates might fire on your
vessel to steal it! Illegal cargo meant racing past the police
ships in that solar system. Gameplay was divided into three areas;
outer space, the main planet (traveling to cities), and the cities 
themselves. In space, heavy battle meant damage to your ship,
and too much damage meant you needed to buy and install replacement
parts the next time you landed (a nice added challenge). On the
planet, you could land away from a city, though you'd need to
land closeby to load any cargo. Inside cities, you could walk
around, talk to locals, and perhaps even engage in laser fights
with the seedier inhabitants. Get enough cash, and buy special
parts for your ship, like a cloaking device. This game was adopted
by Accolade for wider distribution, though was never updated
like other classics, nor given a worthy sequel. Too bad.
