Lightspeed

ATARI PRESENTS is a series of titles geared toward the preservation of cult classics, forgotten favorites, and titles that would otherwise be lost to time. In the spirit of that, each ATARI PRESENTS title is presented unchanged from its original version other than providing the means to play them on modern hardware. Even the store description below is the very same language used to describe the title at the time of its release. Please enjoy!

You're the only human in a huge, robotic space ship, flying at incredible speeds through deep space. Your mission: find and settle a new planet where humanity can thrive. Combat is inevitable, but you'll need more than flying skills to succeed. You'll also need resourcefulness, charm and political skill to help you negotiate with the bizarre, intelligent - sometimes hostile - beings who correctly see you as the alien.

3D Combat Flight Simulation Like You've Never Seen

Earth-bound simulations spend most of their graphic power on landmarks and other terrain. But since there's no terrain in the black void of out space, Lightspeed devotes its Super 3D Graphics power to showing space ships in breathtaking detail and animating them with unprecedented smoothness.
