Starflight, a computer game publishe by Electronic Arts and developed by Binary Systems in 1986, placed gamers as the captain of a state-of-the-art starship created to rescue a dying homeworld in a seemingly barren galaxy. Starflight, the "result of 20 man years" of work, used an in-game planetary generation system that enabled the galaxy to contain hundreds of explorable planets—all on two 360kB floppy disks similar to the system pioneered in Elite. Electronic Arts released the game originally for DOS and Tandy, followed by an Amiga release in 1989, an Atari ST release in 1990, and finally a revamped Mega Drive/Sega Genesis version in 1991. Versions for Apple Macintosh and Commodore 64 were also released. In its March 1987 issue, Computer Gaming World declared it "the best science fiction game available on computer."
