Space Games!

[Elow]

All my friends and i play space games, normally warframe or star wars battlefront 2. When i play alone i play elite dangerous
Just wondering if there’s a correlation between space games and trombone.

I’m a “call of duty” type of guy.

I’m not sure but it seems like all of my students (and myself) play Dungeons & Dragons.

I haven't really played a computer game since Frogger.

I did make a space game when I was learning C++. It was called "Mars Needs Donuts".

Instead of shooting the aliens you give them donuts to go away.

I like your game, Rob. The last "shootem up" games I played were Duke Nukem and Commander Keen (back in the DOS days). I like different games. Lately I've been playing Hidden City (a hidden object game).

Maybe it's a generational thing. I don't feel a need to kill things any more.

Gameplay from "Mars Needs Donuts"...

[Burgerbob]

Not playing any space games at the moment, all about The Ascent.

One of my favorite things to fire up is Space Engine, though, which is basically a universe simulator.

Currently installed Steam games (350 more uninstalled, of course...):

Nope!

No. But I loved playing historic games like Rome total war or Caesar 3 back in the 90's.

Oh... that makes me old.

There are "space" games, and then there are SPACE games. Unfortunately, the games you listed, while great and fun, are not about SPACE . This is the best SPACE game of all time:



Elow, speaking of star wars games, what about multiplayer in the Jedi knight series? Those were super fun.

What about Pharaoh and Shogun Total War 1?

Man, I've been playing computer games since I was genetic info inside my Dad. But once I was born, I remember SPACE QUEST! We played Wing Commander too, and X-Wing. Dune 2 was good too. Transport Tycoon had SPACE maps too.

Who could forget Links 386? "He hit the tree, Jim"

I think that's why I love Kerbal Space Program. Back in the 80s and 90s, every game was like brand new territory. When I played Dune 2, no one had ever heard of a real time strategy game before. When we played Catacomb 3-D, no one had heard of an FPS game. KSP harkens back to those days -- never played a game like that in my life until it came out.

Loved Pharaoh! Don't really remember about Shogun.

Is there something comparable to Caesar 3 now? With better graphics etc of course.

[harrisonreed]

They remade pharaoh on Steam with better graphics. They don't make games like that anymore
