The following review is the opinion of the review's author [Kalandra]
and in no way represents the opinions of this website or its staff.
Hmmmm, where to start talking about one of the most interesting games
that I have ever played? Like many players, I originally came to Fed
on AOL when it went unlimited and enjoyed making friends and
generally socializing across the universe. I was saddened when Fed
was forced to go pay for play because my fledgling budget as an
independent adult just didn't have room. Years passed and in the fall
of 2005 I wondered what had become of IBgames and Fed and swung by
ibgames.net to check it out. Lo and behold Fed was back as FedII. At
first I thought it was just a redo of the original game but after I
logged in I realized it was anything but.
It was the same game, same basic concept but had a whole new twist.
Of course we all miss some things from Fed classic (as its known now)
but the new puzzles and adventures that the programmers are putting
in are great. Doing commerce throughout the galaxy, meeting new
people and building friendships, and eventually designing my own world
are just some of the things that keep me coming back month after
month.
The friendly staff and other players ensured that as an old newbie
there was plenty of help and of course there is an extensive manual to
help decode some of the ranks and terminology. Don't believe me?
Stop in and say hello. I'll be it will be well worth your time.
