Spacemaster is a science fiction role playing game produced by Iron Crown Enterprises, written by Kevin Barrett, developed by Kevin Barrett and Terry K. Amthor. It is an adaptation of, and mostly compatible with, the Rolemaster Fantasy Roleplaying system, and as such any perceived failings/strengths of the latter also apply to Spacemaster.
In particular, Spacemaster can be a very deadly game, as any attack has a chance to kill. This means that "pure hack and slash" players may not enjoy this game as much as other games within this genre.
Iron Crown Enterprises has published several expansions, including Space Master Companion I, Space Master Companion II and Aliens & Artifacts, as well as numerous adventure modules and setting sourcebooks.
A cyberpunk adaptation of the system, called Cyberspace was also published, along with a smaller number of supplements.
