...ok, I thought I'd stop being a lazy batard, and actually post something here...
At first I thought of freeware games like Starfight 6 and Battlecruiser 3000 AD, but both are huge downloads.
There is always the freeware Star Control 2 remake, "The UR-Quan Masters", but a link to that has been posted before.
Then I thought of Christian Pinder's excellent freeware classic Elite remake: "Elite - the new kind", but I discovered that its no longer available due to legal issues with David Braben.
...as a final effort to post something with "space" content, I turned to Elite's sequels "Frontier" & "First Encounters". The Elite Club has the final patched vesions available as
shareware , but a friend told me that even after the 30-day period expires, nothing really happens, and the game can continue as usual, so I guess its
technically freeware... :grin:
...so, if you're not too bored, and can cope with DOS and 320x200 VGA graphics, then by all means,
give them a try .
below is a collage of some (admittedly not-so-cool) shots from both games...
