Space I is a futuristic role-playing game unofficially based upon Game Designer Workshop’s “Traveller” pen and paper game. Players build their character by enlisting in one of the military services (Navy, Army, Scouts, Merchant Marines, or Other Services) and receive training in a number of skills that will help in later life.
After each round of four-year service, your character may leave the military to embark on one of six scenarios, including:
- Defend, in which as an administrator for a far-flung planet, you must defend it from an alien invasion;
- High Finance, in which can dabble in the galactic stock market;
- Explore, in which you mine planets for their riches;
- Trader; in which you earn money by transporting passengers and cargo on your spaceship;
- and First Blood; in which you pit your dexterity, cunning and weapons against an adversary in a death match to collect all his possessions.
