The AGS Panel is a team of AGS forum veterans who play all of the games here, and give them
ratings from one to five cups. The rating system is as follows:
Feel free to disagree with the panel's rating, and please don't be offended if you
think your game has been under-rated!
| 1 Cup | Not serious entertainment |
| 2 Cups | A reasonable game, worth a try |
| 3 Cups | A good game, worth playing |
| 4 Cups | A great game, well worth your time |
| 5 Cups | An outstanding, must-play game! |
If your game has been rated 1 cup, please don't be offended! It's common
for your first game release to get a 1-cup rating, due to the game having
a lack of polish and flair -- which is understandable, because you're just
getting started!
Please understand that the main purpose of the ratings is to help potential game players find high quality, bug-free games to play. You've probably learnt a lot about AGS as a result of making your first game -- so why not use that knowledge to start afresh, and do even better with your next game!

About this game
It is a time of turmoil in the galaxy. Following the disappearance of the Defender of the Universe, the Galactic Presidency has been dissolved and anarchy reigns. With the galaxy divided into three distinct zones, the Galactic Police and the Culthorpe pirate family are engaged in a cold war from across the Lifeless Zone. Life has never been more dangerous for the people of the universe, doubly so for those who make a living flying from planet to planet. And to make matters worse, an invisible conspiracy is threatening life itself.AGS Awards

AGS Panel Review
"Simplistic but solid visuals and a dose of sci-fi nerd humor punctuates this offering by Yahtzee, but it seems clear that he couldn't decide where the game's focus should be -- and the end result is combat that's watered down and simplistic, side quests that are repetitive and a story line that could have used some more focus and effort. Overall it is still a game that most people should find enjoyable."

Incredible!
This game is a hybrid between adventure, RPG and trading game with lots of minigames and sidequests. Very impressive that this is possible with AGS.
And all of the parts work together. I spent ours on trading to improve my ship. A soon as you get bored with that, you can go back on the main quest or a sidequest or...

Good game, I like the mix adventure / free space fly. But I'm a bit lost for the moment.

I absolutely loved this game. I found the story line adequate, thought not as interesting and absorbing as other games I have played. The Sci-fi angle and the humor were great; I especially love the red shirt angle. A most enjoyable game thoroughly recommended.

An amazing game. I didn't get it at first, but once I did, it was fantastic. And replayable too! On my first playthrough, I had only completed 50% of the game. I especially liked the cutscenes near the end.

Adventure game, with space sim and RPG elements? Sold! Even just smuggling around illegal commodities (And destroying police airships) is fun.

Best. Yahtzee. Game. Ever. (hell - it's arguably the best AGS game).
This beautifully made game has adventure, spaceship combat, planet exploration, many nice minigames and, of course, a lot of humor.
This game reminds me of Star Control 2 - and that's enough to call it "Amazing".

WHOA!, is this game good! No, "good" doesn,t do it justice. ONE OF THE GREATEST GAMES EVER is better. Blending several genres into a satisfying whole is tricky but yatzhee has pulled it of excellently! That combined with hillarious characters, wonderfull humour and one of the best plots ever, makes this a game, that is bound to remebered as a classic. So what are you waiting for? Considering it's small download-size there is no excuse for you not to download and play it. You will enjoy it!
No, seriously;)

The legendary Yahtzee delivers once again--and what a delivery! This is one of the best AGS games ever! I love all the mini-games inherent in it, and the humor is great. I'm amazed at the way the limits of AGS can be pushed here. Great job!

While I was initially disapointed that Yahtzee's next game didnt turn out to be "Nine days a Knifing", Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment kicked ass. Featuring twisted humour, an intriging plot, an open ended adventure and a wide variety of gameplay styles. Two thumbs up.

WOW! What an awersome game!
This game has one of the best endings for a game that I have seen for many many years. Not only that, but it has two main endings which makes this even better!
The concept of the redshirts is great! I loved it. The puzzles were good, I didn't get stuck, but some required a bit of thought.
The side quests and sub games were good too. Something you don't see in Adventure games much is a bit of "live action" requiring cursor movement and this was done wonderfully and used in appropriate places.
The characters were interesting and the main plot was intriguing.
A lot of this game reminded me of Elite 2 which isn't a bad thing. I like building up the ship to make it tougher, stronger and better. The only bad point I could make is that the trading got tedious, not because I had to do so much of it, but because I had to talk so much just to make a trade. However this is only a minor gripe.
