Descent: Freespace Battle Pack

How do you make the best first-person space combat simulator even better? Buy both the Freespace Battlepack and Freespace 2 from GoG to get all the original content, then join the Freespace Open community and get the MUCH improved FS2Open engine for your choice of platform (old or new Windows, linux, Intel or PowerPC MacOS) and the hi-res texture packs. Follow the recipe to combine all the incredients and you can then play the entirety of Volition's original Freespace universe from start to finish, and then keep going with all-new mission packs! Freespace set the standard that is still yet to be matched fifteen years later, and it is that standard that drives the Freespace Open community to continually update and improve the Freespace experience without losing a single aspect of the original. The seat-of-the-pants combat, the taciturn wing-men, the screaming of the Shivan fighters, the story all remain, but the detail and immersion are improved dramatically. Come join us at hard-light.net and say welcome to the future, cadet.

Buy the pack with freespace 2 as well. Then look for FS2Open. They ported the greatwar campaing and totally updated FS2... well worth the download and replay. With FS2Open the graphics are modernized and well worth the play :-)

Like Freespace 2, you just need to set your resolution screen to 1024 x 768 and the game will work fine! Freespace was one of my favorite game and I'm happy to play it again!

First off, great game, but really, get the second. get FSO installed and then get the mod for this game to be played in that game, which is free. https://www.gog.com/game/freespace_2 http://www.fsoinstaller.com/ great game and all, but can be done in the second game for free and with improved graphics, looking more like 2014 rather than '98.

The greatest space dogfighting sim that has never been topped before or after, with its sequel being the sole exception. Great gameplay, visuals, controls and story stand the test of time, and any technical problems this game or its sequel may have are ironed out by FreespaceOpen, which also features a lot of extremely entertaining mods and fan-made continuations to the second war, such as Derelict and Inferno; as well as great free standalone games made on the engine like Diaspora. Check Freespace out together with its sequel, you will not regret it. One of the absolute classics from the golden age of PC gaming.
