They are old school, old school, literally, which is kind of cool for us old farts. Many of the first PC games had dialogue options such as this. If you have never experienced an original, the text games may seem as you describe.

It is a mini-game within the original game. One of three. Amazing for any developer to provide so many, usually one is all you get, if that.

I recommend giving them the benefit of the doubt and try more of them. Save before you begin the quest. The designers even randomized many of these so they aren't too repetitive when you play multiple games. This walkthrough may help but remember many are randomized, which is just another level of attention to detail.

Personally, I skip the planet battles. Can't speed up or slow down. Can't zoom in or out. Can't pause and give my robots orders. But that's just me, I'm old remember.
