It's oddly pleasing, at least to me, that it's 25 or so years later and certain patterns are still visible in Roberts's work. Looking at the current state of affairs on the Star Citizen website, it appears that the only thing that's actually working at the moment is a space combat simulator which is a simulator inside the game. This means that, in practical terms, Star Citizen is currently a bleeding-edge 21st-century version of what Wing Commander would have been like if the only thing about it that worked was the Wing Commander arcade game in the pilots' lounge. It's all so circular. :)
