An early, AOL-era Megazeux game. It's kind of a Star Trek-themed default shooter--but without directly mentioning Star Trek. There's a small amount of Megazeux built-in combat and a lot of walking around, talking and finding items.
There are some neat things about it, like the game looks good for its age--but there are some parser-based puzzles, where the parser is so unforgiving that you'll probably have to edit the game to pass the puzzles.
Also, there is no apparent ending. I strongly suspect this game is incomplete.
There is a neat little pseudo-3d maze in there, impressive for mid-199X and similar to the one in Castle of the Aardvarks.
But Castle of the Aardvarks is a much better game, and so similar to Starforce you'd probably be better off playing Aardvarks before you play this one. It's a pretty short game though, probably won't take more than 15 minutes if you cheat your way through the horrible parser puzzles.
