Star Saga (also Star-Saga or Starsaga) is a open-ended, mixed-moderated, science fiction, play-by-mail (PBM) game. Infinite Odysseys published the game beginning in 1987, further improving the game over the next year. Star Saga was influenced by Traveller and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, and was comparable to Starmaster. Players custom designed a home world with alien race. Players then had significant latitude to explore, colonize, wage war, and role-play in various ways in the game's sizable 3-dimensional map. The game received generally positive reviews in various gamer magazines in the 1980s and 1990s.
