Pretty fun actually, despite the simple graphics. Aim to get the star systems that builds most ships at start, or else you'll find yourself in quite a bit of trouble later.
I just saw where Pseudo wrote "Not as high rating as he hoped" after looking through old comments. I've no idea how high it was when he wrote it, but right now it is the highest rated of the month (which shouldn't surprise anyone). Even the walkthrough is on top 5 of the week! Don't let him down, and let us vote Mardek 3 for the best game of the month!
I haven't really started playing this yet, but after reading the description... Isn't this game a bit like the Tradewind series (I think thats what it was called, can never be too sure though)?
