Strange Adventures in Infinite Space

Strange Adventures In Infinite Space (SAIS) is a roguelike computer game set in space. SAIS was created by the independent game development group Digital Eel and released for Windows and Mac on March 15, 2002 by boardgame developer/publisher, Cheapass Games. It was later released for Pocket PC and Palm by British developer/publisher, Astraware.

In SAIS the game players explore a "plausibly implausible" (fictional) region of the Milky Way galaxy called The Purple Void.

SAIS sets itself up differently each time it is played. Stars, black holes, planets, nebulae, artifacts, alien patrols, gadgets, lifeforms and dozens of events and encounters are randomized for each game session. Unlike conventional roguelikes, SAIS features graphics, music and sound, and game sessions typically last from 3 to 20 minutes, hence the game's tagline "Explore the galaxy in 20 minutes or less!"

SAIS was created by the independent game development group Digital Eel and released on March 15, 2002 by boardgame developer/publisher Cheapass Games. Years later it was later released for Pocket PC and Palm by British developer/publisher, Astraware.

As of November 11, 2005, the source code is freely available under the GNU GPL, though without the other game content. Since September 28, 2009, SAIS was made available as freeware, including the game content.
