Okay! So, I'm thinking of delving deep into the history of space simulators and whatever influenced the X-universe games by Egosoft (I'm an avid fan, with a computer that can't run it), and I was reading so much about this Elite game, and thought I might take a look.

Anyway, anyone know the latest versions of that, and any old DOSbox games I could try that fit the genre?

-Elite
-Elite II frontier
-Frontier II First encounters
-Space Rogue
-Wing Commander Privateer (I/II)
-Protostar
-Project Nomad

and the space combat style

-Wing Comander (I,II, Academy, Armada)
-X-Wing

Nobody mentioned Tyrian 2000? O.O

It's an awesome game! The hero's name is also Trent! Really, try it out! There are 2 versions, the normal and 2000. 2000 has 2 more episodes added...

EDIT: Cawdor! Where have you been?! Return plz!
