Space Age: A Cosmic Adventure for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  What a pointless waist of time

  As an adventure game it is slow, not very intriguing, and too involved in its own version of reveal that is equal parts contrived and predictable. Then when it tries to be an arcade game it becomes annoying and repetitive. Once I’ve figured out the puzzle, it should be reasonably possible to execute it. Fuzzy controls and poor responsiveness combine with the quaintly dated graphics to make for an almost oxymoronic blend of boredom and hectic frustration. A waist of time, and not in a good way.

  Can’t get past Chapter 2. Very frustrating.

  I was looking forward to playing this game. The 1st chapter is very quick to play. I’m now at the beginning of the 2nd chapter and one of the first things you have to do is lead the science officer to your spaceship. You are supposed to do this by holding the Shift key and dragging the mouse across the protagonist and the science officer to select both characters. Unfortunately I simply can’t make this work. If I hold the Shift key and drag across them the map scrolls rather than selecting the characters. I’ve retarted both the app and my computer and still no luck. My shift key clearly works as I’m able to capitalize letters while writing this review. Very frustrating. I’m going to have to ask Microsoft for a refund since I can’t make it any further in the game.

  Shift and Drag

  To move two players hold down the SHIFT key and drag a box as if you were doing a ‘CUT-N-PASTE’ it will draw a box, enlarge that box to contain the characters that you wish to move and they will then get selected (box above their heads) you can then guide them.

  Not really a game… Just wander around

  There’s really not much point to this “game”. All you do is click to wander around, read the text of the non-interactive conversations, then wander around some more. I think I played until chapter 5 or 6 and then you finally get to do SOMETHING, you can click on an alien to shoot him. That’s it, then more reading non-interactive text and wandering around. Pointless, waste of money, waste of time.
