Best Space Shooter?
« on: December 16, 2002, 09:54:57 PM »
Hello,

Many thanks to the answers for "Best Car Racing", now I know what games to look for.

Now I am also looking for the "Best Space Shooter".  I am meaning games like Wing Commander.

Anyone?

Thanks,

Neofree

Just to clarify since I didnt mention at first.  I mean 3D space shooters only... Like Wing Commander.  :)  (This isn't in response to previous replies, the ones mentioned very well may be 3D also, but I just don't want to hear a bunch of 2D scroller type games.)

Thanks,

Neofree

Those games you mentioned are they 2D or 3D?

I think the first 2D Space Shooter I've played is Galaga (arcade) and if you count Asteroids.  The first 3D space shooter I've played is Star Wars.  Once having this I had a hard time going back...

Thanks,

Neofree

Only got a 1230 (40mhz) here. with no plans to
upgrade soon (since i just got it).

If the A1 drops the rates of A1200 PPC hardware, I'll get that next year. :)

Certainly there has to be something other then Wing Commander and Elite 2.  I did some searches on the net and found a couple of games that look pretty neat but have not had a chance to try them.

Someone has tried some of these I'm sure and has an opinion...

What is the best 3D Space Shooter that will work on A1200 with A1230 40mhz accelerator?

Thank you,

Neofree
