Oh, I loved Tachyon! It wasn't as awesome as Freespace 2 but it sure as hell isn't as complicated as EVE, as great as EVE is.
Full 3d combat in space?! That was awesome! When I first played Descent Freespace, I nearly puked from the diziness that is 3d space.
i know the only similarity is that they are both in space but does anyone remember colony wars? goddamn THAT game was awesome..
All I know is that as a 6 year old I played copious amounts of X-Wing (the original) with my best friend. That's right, two of us played a one player game. He flew, I managed the shields, weapons, and engines. I was essentially R2-D2 in the X-Wing. And it was awesome. God, those were the days. Is this game anything like that?
I remember this game! I think I still have it somewhere on a shelf. The slide mechanic was the coolest part. But I think I was too young to truly grasp how to play the game. There were so many buttons on the keyboard to keep track of.
It's still one of my favorite space fighter games. I think it holds up well, though its been years since I've actually been able to get it working in Windows.
I played the shit out of this game. me and my neighbor got it for our birthdays, and good times were had all around. it might be the nostalgia, but i seem to think that this game is better than most.
I actually still own this game for my PC. I was a huge Space Combat sim fan back in the day. Those were the times!
I used to be a huge fan of space combat games, never got the chance to play this one though :(. I really miss the genre and i've always been convinced that if you streamlined Freespace 2 down to something slightly more complex than an Ace Combat game you could have a truly excellent console title. Mix that kind of gameplay with xbox live/psn and you'd have a pretty incredible co-op space combat game.
This game was great, played it through on both sides. You could choose to join Galspan - the 'evil' corporation or the Bora, Rebels/Terrorists. It had nice flight mechanics, a decent range of available ships and upgrades. It felt like a good mix of space-combat and flight-sim. Its got good, simplified, but without being dumbed down, gameplay with a focus on action and dog fighing.
I remember the cheats were Bruce inspired, one is to type in "BOOMSTICK" during the game :)

I know it doesn't have Bruce Campbell in it, but Beyond the Red Line (http://www.beyondtheredline.net/demo.html) has sliding and real Colonial Vipers
Yeah but Freespace and Beyond the Red Line are not games time forgot. Time still remembers. Vividly.
First of all if I am playing a game I am not interrested who is behind the voice of the caracter in the game.
So be it the voice of some actor like Bruce Campbell or James Earl Jones (Darth Vader)I don't care.
I could not care less what he does for a living or in wich movie he is featuring as long as the voice is a pleasant and good one.
And i bet both of these caraters would have a favourable voice in the game.
Concerning Battlestar Galactica,
I don't know what braindead idiot decided to release a bad remake of the movie.
But if you change the design of the ships, fighters and replace the actors.
Then you should also change the title of the movie and the names of the caracters in the movie.
Because it's not Battlestar Galactica anymore.
Appearantly those dumbasses think you can change the whole movie and use the same name of an old popular movie and everybody believes in it again.
Well think again.
Yes I am a Veteran of the Original Battlestar Galactica.
I see it as an flagrant insult to the Original BSG series that some idiot just decided to take the name but create a differant movie.
It's hilarious to see a starship which remotely resembles the real Battlestar Galactica with a bunch of actors in a space soap series.
Well gus this is not "As The World Turns" or "The Bold and the Beautifull" where actors can "shift shape" because some movie director feels like it.
I wonder how Lorne Green would feel if he found out policeman Lt Castillio from Miami Vice has taken his place.
Or Cl.Tigh turning to a old caucasian man with grey hair.
But the biggest joke would certainly be Lt Starbuck.
I would love to see Mr Benedict's face when he learned that womaniser Lt Starbuck actually turned into a young lady.
Stop screwing up this movie and create something new!!!!
