Thought dead, an astronaut is left behind on Mars and desperately tries to stay alive and communicate with home.

I watched a couple of seasons before my interest petered out. I want to do other things with my time.

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.

Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn’t take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.

  1. Master of Orion – (1993 game)
  2. Master of Orion II – Battle at Antares – (1996 game)
