Our destination, the stars. 11 April 2021 It's incredible to think that Starflight, developed by Binary Systems and one of the first games published by Electronic Arts, isn't better known today. Conceived in the early 80s by Rod McConnell and Jim Yarborough, their idea was to create an open-ended space exploration game with random encounters and resource collection. Today, you'd think of No Man's Sky, Mass Effect or Elite Dangerous; even by 1986, when the PC original of Starflight was finally published, nothing like Starflight existed despite distant relatives s...
