Space Rogue is a science fiction computer game. It was released in 1990 by Origin Systems, makers of the hit Ultima series. The game combined elements of both a space combat simulator and a roleplaying game. It is notable for being the first game designed for Origin by Paul Neurath before he went on to found Looking Glass Studios.
The player takes on the role of a space traveller who is sent by his captain to investigate a drifting spacecraft. While he is onboard, aliens attack his mothership and destroy it. He is left with the small craft he was sent to investigate, with little money and no ties. Players decided their fate from there. They could engage in piracy, hunt bounties, become interstellar merchants or become embroiled in the interplanetary politics.
