Analysis — Space Trader: Merchant Marine on the Steam Machine
Space Trader: Merchant Marine is a 2008 release, built for PCs far older than the Machine, so frame-rate isn't the question here; controller support and text size on a TV are.
Space Trader: Merchant Marine has no SteamOS rating yet. A similar game we do rate, Offworld Trading Company, lands green on the Steam Machine — a reasonable first guide until this one gets its own verdict.
