The only space games (theyre not simulators) that really interested me were Elite Frontier and First Encounters. Other good games were X-Wing, Space Shuttle and Wing Commander. Other than that I havent played anything worth while for ages. Must be too old to enjoy those kinds of games these days because I hate the X games, I hated Tachyon, I didnt really enjoy the Privateer games all that much either. Elite is far far above anything else though by a mile - in fact its practically the only game that I have ever played for literally months on its own non-stop (other than EF2000, TAW and Falcon 4). I havent played any games half as much as these four games which probably combined take up 80% or more of my whole 20 years worth of game playing time! I am so glad there are not any games around now of this quality as I really would have started to regret my gameplaying addiction by now if it had continued. Now I play practically nothing.
