The UI looks great and really captures the atmosphere of the era. I really love the classic UI. The modeling is detailed. The manual is a bit too lengthy. The screen refresh effect looks nice at first, but having it play after almost every UI interaction makes things feel a bit sluggish. I played as the US until 1960 and found the difficulty a little too low. The refresh effects and the repetitive dialogs showing my own results during turn transitions also disrupt the flow of the game a bit.

Thank you so much for playing and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the classic Macintosh interface and the historical atmosphere.
You make some excellent points. I may have gone a little overboard with the screen refresh effects in my enthusiasm for recreating the experience of old computers! I'll definitely look into making them less frequent and improving the overall flow, especially during turn transitions.
Your comments about the difficulty are also very helpful. Balancing the AI and making the Space Race more challenging are among my priorities for future updates. I'll also consider streamlining the repetitive dialogs and making the manual more accessible.
Thanks again for giving the game a try and sharing your experience. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable, especially for a project that is still evolving!
