Default Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)

Hi there people, I didn't feel like starting a new thread and since this thread was about an 'other' game I thought I'd post this link I found at TheGameCreators..

Another 'Other' game.. Can you say 'Elite/Privateer' Plus a whole lot more?


This caused my eyes to glaze over and send my mind on a journey to the past where I have fond memories of Universe II, Elite, Privateer, Starflight, and Sundog... aaah, the good old days.

Cheers!

I've just recently discovered Vegastrike, which takes a little bit of learning but is basically everything Elite II: Frontier should have been. Free, too.

Yeah, the Starwraith line of games is great.

Meh... I downloaded StarWraith Shadows of Orion and couldn't even get it to work with my Wingman Force joystick. Got frustrated, gave up and went back to Freespace II.

Probably because it's a one-man job using a second-rate compiler.

But for the money, it's worth it.

Oh damn... that's right... I PAID for that.

Now I'm more pissed than just frustrated.
