a.k.a. "Oregon Trail... IN SPACE!"

Is that supposed to be good or bad? I liked Oregon Trail a bit as a child but I like this game far more. It doesn't really seem like a good analogy to me either - both involve a journey, random encounters, and probable death of characters, but other than that the mechanics are completely different.

I think one could make a faithful recreation of Oregon Trail with more or less the gameplay of FTL. It's the game Oregon Trail should have been.

I am now describing FTL as Oregon Trail meets Rogue meets Escape Velocity.
