The year is 2367, thirty two years after the Great War. Or at least what YOU thought was the Great War. The seemingly endless tide of Shivan capital ships, bombers and fighters with super advanced technology was nearly overwhelming.
As the Terran and Vasudan races finish rebuilding their decimated societies, a disturbance lurks in the not-so-far reaches of the Gamma Draconis system.
Your nemesis has arrived... and they are wondering what happened to their scouting party...

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Remember playing this as a kid over and over again, didn't take long for me to relive that feeling after i downloaded it, great fun game but so immersive, the scenarios really put you in the middle of the action, well worth a go, even better if you have a joystick.
The original game was critically acclaimed but there is so much more here.
This game enjoys a strong mod community who have created new graphics, new models, new missions, many new and continued continued story lines and several conversions to other story universes including Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica reimagined, Babylon 5 and Wing Commander.
buying this game, you get a great war time story from the perspective of an anonymous pilot.
also, you get access to a great many mods and campaigns for Freespace 2 Open(available free from hard-light.net), an open source engine upgrade project greatly enhancing the visuals and capabilities of the base Freespace 2 game. note that these mods still require access to the Freespace 2 data files.
d
the foremost of these, in my mind, is the blue planet series. BP carries on the freespace story with a shockingly good narrative.
buy it, you wont be disappointed (unless you don't like flight sims)

Huge Impact!
I played this game when I was 14 years old on an old IBM Aptiva PC, and now at 27 I'm still in love with it! I always try to find space simulator games that is equivalent to Freespace (I put this game as a benchmark) and most of the games don't come even close to what this game does.
If people think that other space combat games / simulator / MMORPG are better than this one, they just have not tried playing Freespace yet!
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
