Notes
TypeText
Known ErrorsThere were various bugs in the original release, including an error in the OBERAMMERGAU section which caused the game to crash. The fixes were not in the final release and were only made available on request from Melbourne House as a printed correction sheet. The '(patched)' version is the only version of Starion that can actually be finished.
