What happened to all the good space sims??

[Judge Hades]

That was a separate song sung to the tune of Goerge of the Jungle. Sorry for the confusion.

[Darque]

That's because star trek sucks.  (w00t)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

No, the games suck, not the franchise.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The only Star Trek game that looked even remotely appealing to me was cancelled.

 

It was a Borg RTS game.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Now that would have been a cool game.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

I agree

Armada 2 lets you play as the borg.

 

And I played the game that meta mentioned on my parents 2.86

[Judge Hades]

You should try to run Oblivion on it.

[Dark_Raven]

Coolness. Playing as the Borg as you assimilate other people and worlds would be great.

[Judge Hades]

I rather be Species 8472. They can blow up planets.

[Calax]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

they make an appearance too...

 

and we tossed the 2.86... about 7 or 8 years ago.

Their single fighter ships PWN the Death Star in power.

[Judge Hades]

Damn. I need a 286 with a PCI E slot. :D

[alanschu]

I know you're just being silly, but when you post the same joke multiple times I am erring on the side of caution. But I'm sure you know that a 286 is completely incapable of running Oblivion, even hideously slowly.

I'm not sure if that's as cool

 

This game let you control individual drones and it played like Starcraft.

[astr0creep]

Was it a space sim? Cuz this thread is derailing.

 

Oh yeah and I'm sorry for bringing up Star Trek. :">

 

It's just that Larry Holland, who designed Bridge Commander, was also behind X-Wing and Tie Fighter. And BC is not a bad game at all and neither is Elite Force.

It would not be able to load it on the hard drive since the hard drive would be too small. The old 286 motherboards had a hard drive size restriction.

[Calax]

well I officially cried when lucasarts said Xwing alliance was the last of their space sims they were going to do

That would be much easier to work around than the processor.

[Darth InSidious]

SFC and it's sequels were good, too.

How sad.

[Judge Hades]

Alanschu, you are just no fun.

[alanschu]

Fun is one thing. It's a bit too extreme though that it just seemed rather silly IMO.

Well LucasArts ended their superb X-wing series

and EA closed Orgin.

 

What a slaughter.

 

But anyways, anyone who have tried the Darkstar one demo?

I found it very promising.

A new X-Wing game made today would probably be amazing. Imagine the ****pits

[chos echo]

[MarwinElMaco]

Nope, but you never know what Will Wright has up in his expansion pack sleeve.

What are some good space sims or games with space ship to ship battles?
