Renegade Legion

Tacyhon was fun. Simple, fast, and almost open ended. The ship could be outfitted with different weapons and accessories.

My son is playing EVNOVA now. I have been to busy with Starfury to bother with the demo. It is the third game in the escape velocity series.

Ahhhh, I had almost forgotten about Tachyon, that was the one with bruce campbell as the voice for the main character correct?

(Looking over my shoulder at my bookshelf for other sci fi sims I still have.) IWar - Iwar Deluxe edition - IWar 2 are a couple of others that I enjoyed for awhile although I dont remember finishing IWar 2...

I took a quick trip over to EVNova to check it out as I hadn't heard of that one before, looks pretty awesome!

EVNova has its points, but what you see in the demo is pretty much the entire game. Sans ship capturing and some of the missions.

I was just curious if it reminded anyone else of an old old old title called Renegade Legion Interceptor.

Yep I remember that good old game. Was based on a board game of the same name, similar to Mechwarrior. Like you I played the Wing Commander and Hard Nova games. Have you ever tried a game called Rules Of Engagement? Its really old but lots of fun. It is a modular game so if you board an enemy vessel it auto-boots up another game called Breach 2. You have a squad based mission to take the enemy ship, much like UFO - Enemy Unknown as UFO was based on the "Rules Of Engagement/Breach series"
