Published 1994 by Digital Reality.......
Do i smell surrender?
Ok the game was called Reunion, it was graphically and sonically very nice. Your view of your planets was from above, a sort of sim city 2d high tech look. You had to place your buildings and had only so much space depending on the planet. It had a story so was not quite as free form as it first appeared, still the story was fun and overall the game was very hard(at least on the Amiga). The worst aspect was having to manually fly(ok, just a take-off and landing sequence!) your resourch ships from your outpost planets - you could not setup an automatic route, so the game did get bogged down by this. Still the exploration of new planets, the tech-tree and the evil and very tough alien race kept you on your toes. Much fun, if you liked tough challanges
Someone else have a go please.

Oh didn't read your last sentence
I will have a go!

Does it soon have you dropping a bucket on your boss's head?
Damn, I know this one but can't remember its name. It was ported to PC later.

5) the game also plays as a first person shooter
6) how many languages your characters speak is very important to completing missions

Is this an FPS as we think of it now, or as we would have thought of it then, where you are in a static position and shoot things, but the view is "first person"?

All right all right....here's another one from the 80's
In my line of work you visit me to distant worlds.
But on this job things did not go to their accords...
My ship lies in tatters
But not that it matters...
There is a craft that will get me back
But at a price that makes me crack...
With a hostile situation in the city
There's need for work and not mere pity.
Places to go and stuff to find
You'll be rewarded well in kind...
