"What makes Epic Loon stand out, and work at all, is that the various screens you end up in that are tied to each movie are so utterly odd and creative. There’s a real method to the madness in this game and for me the element of the unexpected and the legitimate challenges in making effective use of such limited controls pays off. It’s absolutely not a game that will work for everyone, and if you’re only going to play solo it may not be a great match, but if you’ve got a bunch of geeky friends who love iconic movies and weirdness Epic Loon may just provide for some really unexpected entertainment while you’re all trying to prove who’s the best."

About
Epic casts you as a pilot fleeing across hostile space in this 1992 sci-fi simulator. You guide your ship through eight levels of combat and hazards while evading the Rexxons. Missions include threading minefields under time pressure or bombing planetary targets. The game uses vector graphics to render your ship from six angles, with action displayed from the cockpit. Mouse control helps manage movement and targeting in real time. Standouts include the smooth vector visuals and short cutscenes that bookend levels. The mouse-driven cockpit view was uncommon for flight games at the time. Originally released on Amiga and Atari ST, it later arrived on DOS. With simple but tense mission design and a clear sci-fi narrative, it appeals to retro gaming fans. The Rexxon threat and Battlestar Galactica vibes add context for older players.
