Hard Nova is a 1990 sci-fi computer role-playing game. It was programmed by Karl Buiter and published by Electronic Arts. It was developed for DOS, Amiga and Atari ST, and is considered the follow-up to Sentinel Worlds I: Future Magic. Hard Nova allowed a character to choose gender, enabling females to soar through galaxies, gamble to gain credits for ammunition, and fight among the stars, just as the men did.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
