Ok, now, let's get serious.

When I was a child, like in 95 or so, I used to go to a neighbour who owned a PC and play this space-kind-of-simulator, and it was awesome, but I can't seem to recall the name.


Thing is. For who know it, the graphics had some or what the same engine of games like Big Red Racing, all polygon and shit, but I may be not much precise about it.


Most importantly, it was arcade-ish like shit, and you played and fought around a planet, or some planets idk, that was really small, i mean, you could orbit around the small planet really quick, you could even see the planet's curvature from ground level.

And it was kinda easy to lock targets, and shoot, and it let you go away, to outer space, as far away as you wanted, and as far as you went, the smaller the planet went.


Well, this is kind of everything I remember. Anyone?

Star Control?

Naw, that's a 2D game.

Your description doesn't ring any bells for me. What your describing doesn't sound like FreeSpace 1 or 2. The only other space sim series that leaps to mind are Descent, Wing Commander, and Homeworld.

EDIT: Post Updated.

Star control is a 2D game!?

you and ggf162 really got the point, but I'm not talking about Descent. I know Descent really well, I'm talking about another game, the graphis was all collorful and polygonal, and you could easely get close and away from the home planet where the fight was involved, and such

Project Nomad, or Nomad , the name changed from one country to another (Gametek, 1993). ?

Hmm, good try, Phc7006, but no. I'm aware I'm posing a real challenge to old gamers, really

Sure looks like it to me!

ggf162 I apreciate your help, but now, i'm talking about a game where you can acually fly freely, laterally and vertically, it's really arcadish but is somewhat newtonian, like, but not much

Incoming/Incoming Forces? Independence War?

Frontier Elite II?

I THINK I HAVE IT

Star Quest 1?

EDIT: Even if it's not TC's game (which I truly think it is) it looks really fun. I should check for it online sometime.

Not too many games that let you go from planet to orbit, even now. Could it have been one of the Elite sequels? http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/frontier-elite-ii
