Dorkface is only half-right, because I'm the one who won it.

 

Jerkface here is only half right, because I already won it myself.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

I just realized that I haven't been hooked on a space simulator since Elite. On the Commodore 64 (2-3 fps rocks!).

Freelancer.

Have to agree ... Freelancer is definitely one of the best Space Sims in recent history.

 

You can learn the controls in seconds, you can complete the storyline in about a week, and can continue exploring Sirius sector for months and not see everything.

 

Combat is exciting, but the opponent AI is not exactly challenging.

 

The storyline is entertaining, but the missions get pretty repetitive.

 

I've played through the game no less than four times, and will probably do it again in the future.

The Wing Commander and Freespace series are simply the best of the space fighter genre. Starlancer was a pretty good game aswell.

Nothing new there, I still consider Starlancer a better game than Freelancer.

Tighter and better story, better looking ships and the missions are good fun. Freelancer is pretty much a space shooter with a thin veneer of Elite/Privateer that ends up feeling "empty" after a while. Once you find a trading "milkrun" you can make retardedly amounts of cash in a short while since Freelancers economy is static, which is a big no-no for a Elite clone.

Starlancer & Freelancer older games? I recall hearing about Starlancer.

Freelancer is old but gold, starlancer is even older.

Great. In other words something that will not be in the local computer stores. :(

Amazon is my friend when it comes to music, might as well include old/used games.

I saw someone talking about Freespace in this thread earlier.. Then I saw this:

Both Freespace games for 49 SEK (appr. 6,68 USD). Should I buy..?

For that price Freelancer 2 is worth it. Missions are repetive, but it
