Starship Pilot is not really a game in that there are no points to accrue or missions to accomplish. The program's author, William Wiesel, is a professional astronomer and astronautical engineer and used his knowledge to create a simulator of space travel set several centuries in the future.
The full version of the program contains 12 star systems and dozens of planets and moons, all set out according to the laws of physics. There are also countless space stations, ports, derelicts and alien ruins to discover. Controls are keyboard-only and somewhat awkward to learn.
The program is dated by its simple graphics, PC speaker sounds and lack of Y2K compatibility (system clock needs to be set to 12/31/1999 or earlier to run properly).
