I played Stars! too! I simply adored that game. Who knows how many thousands of hours I spent as a kid on it. It somehow engaged whatever flavor of ADHD/Tism I have and I could get lost for days on it. It’s funny, but even back then the graphics were absurdly simple, but we didn’t care, the gameplay and complexity was so enthralling. Most of the game was just basic geometric shapes and numbers on a map, which seems hilarious now, but to me it proves that gameplay > graphics. Graphics can help, but the gameplay MUST be there first and foremost.
Also, you are (apparently) me! 😆 Damn I’d give a lot for a modern World of Xeen remaster (got both maps in my gaming room!), nevermind an actually new title. I think someone is working on a Wizardry remaster, no? Or was that you in fact, when I heard about the project?
