Somehow Wing Leader escaped my notice
I could have been clearer, I am looking for a first person shooter space game, like I’m sitting in the cockpit, that meets my low end system requirements and does not need a joystick.
Older games might do ya, like Freespace 2 open or Tachyon. Eterium might be okay for a newer thing. That’s likely it.
I can’t imagine playing Freespace 2 or Tachyon without a joystick.
@orald , the only space games I’ve played in which M&K felt good were Freelancer and X3: Albion Prelude, and as they’re both older, they should run fine on your setup. The latter isn’t a shooter though, and the former isn’t available digitally anywhere, so I guess I’m out of suggestions.
And I am looking for a statuesque young redhead who loves to cook, loves nerd culture, thinks cat memes are high art, and thinks balding grey haired middle aged guys are just the cat’s meow.
i.e. there is no such creature.
Hey, me neither, but I know people who swear by it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Tie Fighter/ Xwing.
Old school question: did I imagine my playing WC1 on a 286 not having a joystick/hand graphic?
I played both those games using a gamepad and a program called Joy2Key. I don’t feel real comfortable using my Saitek joystick since I have nowhere to mount it other than awkwardly to my too tall desk.
When I played WC3 for the first time a few years back I’m pretty sure I used m&k as I found it worked better than my gamepad.
I’m pretty sure the answer is simply pick a flight sim from 90-95.
Of which there are many. Try Star Crusader. it’s amazing.
Yeah, games that are ten years old or older should work great.
Thanks @krayzkrok I think I will check out X3: Terran Conflict.
Hadn’t heard of DarkStar One, but there is a guy on steam that seems to know his space games who had this to say about it, “If you want Freelancer-style gameplay with just one ship, a poor story and boring combat, you can do worse than this game.”
;-)
Hey, I think he’s talking about me!
I did not like Darkstar One very much at all.
Jus havin’ a little fun witcha
I might try getting Hardwar to run on my W7 machine again. That, G-Police and Descent are the 6DOF games that really get me hot and bothered; I’m actually not much for games that take place in open space.
Anyway, Hardwar is an absolute bastard to get running, harder than Boiling Point somehow. I think I gave it a try when I first installed W7 again a year or so back but no dice with any of the patches I could find. I know for a fact I tried everything on the exceptionally beautiful and perfectly preserved Hardwar fansite, except maybe run through all the legacy fanpatches. They actually have the game, right there. Has anyone managed to play it recently?
According to Steve over in the Aurora 4X boards, C# Aurora is nearly at release! I’ve been waiting for this to come out before starting a new game.
Heh, “game” he calls it.
