Firstly, this game is in no way related to the famous astronomer and cosmologist Carl Sagan, although after playing it, you'll probably wish that it was.
A quite ambitious game that seems to be long and winding, perhaps one might be tempted to say "epic". With simplified elements of nethack-like action, a major drawback is that the combat system is based on reflexes and keyboard response times, rather than any meaningful stats. To make things worse, there is no graphical representation of the orcs and dragons you are purportedly fighting. It's just a small line of text showing how many hit points were deducted.
If you make it through the over-complicated multi-screen instructions at the beginning of the game without losing concentration, then congratulations, but good luck trying to remember all of those key mappings and game rules! That's not to mention the overlong delay during the game's initialisation phase on the first intro screen, which might prevent some players from getting even that far.
Overall it's just a dull, boring game with a plodding BASIC implementation of UDGs and character-based movement. It could legitimately be entered in to the CGC and it would in no way look out of place. Verdict: Not worth the effort.
