I don't remember the name of it, I think it was a Win32 application though.

It could be played in like 30 mins. But was quite the game. It was in 3D, and was a space sim.

You basically were flying around this area of space, just before this invasion, I think. So it was just a few dog fights, and then a "destroy the capital" ship ending.

You could "warp" from sector to sector, when ever the scripted attacks began. Basically you pressed a key, then selected the area on a map, then flew through this green, winding tunnel thing for a few secs.
You could also "dock" at these stations, which were looked like a big donut. You had to fly up the centre to "dock", then get repairs and replenish ammo.

Me and my brother use to play it always way back. I used the game pad to pilot and shoot. And he was beside me with the key board as the "opperations officer". Switching weapons, warping in an outta systems, bringing up the map, setting docking sequences.

Good times, good times

Can't belive no one has mentioned system shock 2... that game owns.

Nothing beats the fallout series tho, that absurd humor whit the 1950's optimistic feeling.

Operation Inner Space! man this game was fun....

you fly around inside your computer destroying corrupted files and stuff. you get weapons like a Bottle Rocket (which is actually a Beer Bottle), boomerang, grappling hook and stuff.

very old game, prolly not a lot of people know about it..but it is really fun. i used to play it when I was in high school and I could not afford a decent enough computer to play games on.

Yup System Shock and System Shock 2 kicked ass

For all you really old schoolers out there

Remember Dark Ages The germanic Role playing game. I swear it had it's suckiness but that stupid game moved computer RPG's forward about 10 years.
