History and development
Space 101 was a closed-ended, computer-moderated space-based PBM game published by C2 Simulations.[1][2] The publisher playtested the game in 1989.[2] It was an introductory-level for novice PBM players, in the manner of It's a Crime, made as a simpler version of the publisher's New Order game.[2]
Gameplay
15 players per game could role-play as Builders, Lawyers, Pirates, and Scholars.[1][3] The 25×25 game map comprised 99 star systems with play starting at the center.[2]
Players win by amassing the most victory points in the 15 allotted turns per game.[1]

A reviewer in a 1989 issue of Challenge said, "If you are looking for a fun, easy-to-learn, play-by-mail game from a reliable moderator, | would recommend Space 101.[1] Robert Stock reviewed the game in a 1989 issue of Flagship, saying "For someone looking for a fun, uncomplicated sci-fi "shoot 'em up", Space 101 is worth examining."[2]
