In addition to inspiration from board games, the studio was inspired Star Trek creator Gene Roddenbury, and Star Control creators Fred Ford and Paul Reiche III.

Strange Adventures In Infinite Space was created by Digital Eel, a studio that included Richard Carlson, Iikka Keranen, and Bill Sears (creating under the name Phosphorous). Unlike conventional roguelikes, Strange Adventures In Infinite Space features graphics, music and sound, and game sessions typically last from 3 to 20 minutes, hence the game's tagline "Explore the galaxy in 20 minutes or less!" Stars, black holes, planets, nebulae, artifacts, alien patrols, gadgets, lifeforms and dozens of events and encounters are randomized for each game session. Strange Adventures In Infinite Space sets itself up differently each time it is played. The game is non-linear, with turn-based movement and real-time combat.

Strange Adventures is considered one of the first rogue-lite games, a hybrid of roguelikes and other types of games. ![]() ![]() In 2020, the game was updated to run on current computer operating systems of the day.
