With an average game lasting between thirty minutes and four hours, the player(s) can create scenarios ranging from space skirmishes to a full-scale, all-out star war. For $39.95 the game comes complete with a Starship Operating Manual, 3 Starship Data Cards, and a Game Selection Card. The Warp Factor is available on disc for a 48k Apple II (Applesoft ROM).
