I thought I list some space games since I see like 3 or 4 post about them. Freelancer Darkstar one Space force rogue universe Nexus the jupiter inncident X2 X3 reunion Genesis rising Hegemonic legion of iron Homeworld 1,2, catalyclism I would list the other known ones but wanna give ppl a chance to post them.
The sad thing about space games is that they usually have a "to be continue" plot but the developers don't make a part 2 or expansion unless its for some multiplayer crap
Surprised no one has mentioned Starcraft and/or Brood War yet, the all time great. EVE Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Jedi Academy, Republic Commando. These all aren't in space per se but they are futuristic.
EV nova aka "Escape Velocity Nova" is an amazing shareware game, even the free demo is pretty addicting, but the full version is definitely worth it! Come to think of it I should really replay that game.

I'm gonna check out that nova game. It reminds me of another game that is a trial but becomes full when u pay 9 or 10 I think
At first I didn't like this game, but I persisted to get my money's worth, and about 18 hours in, I realized I loved it. I can't stop playing it; the game is X3:Terran Conflict. Great graphics, and completely addictive exploration. It is exactly what you want when you think of "space game." It is HUGE.
Also, I will say Deadspace, AVP2, and you could possibly even say Half-Life.
Where the balls are Independence War 1 and 2? Also, there's Allegiance if you're looking for a free, multiplayer space combat title with some RTS elements.

I'm trying to find the name of an old space game I used to play (at least 10 years ago). It was set in the space and you got to pick from 4 or 6 alien factions where you would setup on planet and you'd have to research technologies and upgrade your ships. You'd then be able to navigate to other systems and try to build on other planets.
You could setup alliances with the other factions once you encountered them and eventually attacked your enemies to be the largest race.
It isn't Alpha Centauri that I'm thinking about, it's older than that. I think the name of the game begins with an "A" but I'm not sure.

Any help would really be appreciated!

Sounds like a typical 4X game...Master of Orion, perhaps? (Doesn't begin with "A", but the rest fits for the most part..)

Any of u played a game on win 3.1 or dos where u r a 3d shaped figure shooting at other figures? The backround is all black and you r able to jump and retreat if surrounded.
[QUOTE="TheCrazed420"]Why oh why does no one ever mention Tachyon? Has no one played that gem? BRUCE freakin CAMPBELL voices the main guy! I mean come on!!!!NamelessPlayer
Tachyon: The Fringe? Heard of it on numerous occasions, but never actually played it. The singleplayer is quite good. It kinda reminded me of Freespace, except Tachyon felt like the campaign was more immersive. I never got a chance to play the multiplayer for it though.

Back in the days when the game first came out, the 100 player base wars were incredibly laggy...in spite of that, though, they were insanely fun because they were so crazy and hectic.

WOW I was just trying to figure out the name of an old space game I used to play that sounds EXACTLY like that, and it WAS Fragile Allegiance, glad I looked here :D
You know what would be great? If somebody would make a new really awesome space game that isn't an mmo. Imagine a game with the accessability of Freelancer and the Giant universe of X3. *sigh*
Noone ever mentioned the 3 grandfather of all???!![ahh you too old for this grey...]
ELITE
SPACE ROGUE
MOONFALL
Thank you...
Greyfoo-t
No one mentioned them because those games are older then 99.9% of the people in these forums. Those are/were fantastic games. I remember spending many, many, way to many hours playing Elite on my C64.
Friggin Elite lol Oh the good ol' days of wire frame graphics and We loved them didn't We? Still think about that damn game and the floppy drive that was the size of a loaf of bread and got hot enough to bake one!
