Independence War Deluxe
  - Software or 3dfx graphics only
  - Mission based like Freespace, no free play
  - Tough game, sometimes frustrating but nevertheless challanging

Independence War 2: Edge Of Chaos
  - DirectX 3D
  - Mission based with free play and RPG aspects
  - Easier that Iwar (deluxe)

Terminus
  - Direct 3D, Graphics are ok but not eye candy, station graphics are
spartan compared to Freelancer
  - Short campaign, but includes free play
  - Game playable from three professions
  - Newtonian physics like the Iwar series
  - Gaming area is our solar system
  - RPG elements similar to Freelancer in terms of earning credits and
buying ships and upgrades.
  - Can own mulitple ships
