The game is so simple in all aspects that, like another reviewer stated,you can't help but go and automate everything. The gameplay has to be the worst I've ever seen. But interface is'nt the only problem, no, not by a long shot. RFTS would still be lacking in every other criteria. Every aspect of it,such as ship designing, colony management,research, and combat are so simplified, and with so little options involved, that the whole game is a no-brainer to play.
Graphics are are extremely awkward looking.
At least that looks good. Though old, it beats this one hands down. Hell, go get Space Invaders. That sure is more interesting, exiting and defenitely less frustrating. As in, there isn't any.
