Centauri Alliance

Describing Centauri Alliance as “The Bard’s Tale in Space” would be fitting
since it was designed by Michael Cranford, the creator of the first two Bard’s
Tale games. In this science-fiction RPG, players build a party by designing
characters from six different races and arming them with a variety of weapons
and psychic powers. They then set off across a cluster of star systems on a
secret mission to find a powerful super-weapon and save the worlds of the
Alliance from evil forces.

The game contains most of the standard RPG elements of late ’80s games
including first person 10′ X 10′ square adventuring maps, turn-based combat
and an ongoing quest to find bigger and better ways to kill things.
