    Star Assault

    Has anyone heard of a PC game called Star Assault?

    I came across the game on my travels today and it seems to be a space combat sim similar to Wing Commander or X-Wing, but I can't find out any proper information about the game. When searching I find some places selling the game, but no reviews or screenshots, or information about the gameplay. Anyone know?

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I've seen it on Amazon for £16.99 or £16.00 from Virgin but the RRP is £19.99 which is never a good sign but i've never played it.

    No, I also found many references to the Star Wars game, but this one is different. It is just called Star Assault.

    And as Buleste mentions, releasing a game at a low price point to begin with isn't usually a good sign as it often means the developer is trying to get the game sold under the scope before the magazines and websites get their hands on it for review.
