Privateer 2: The Darkening
Description
You regain consciousness and the unfamiliar faces surrounding you inform you that you've lost your ship in an unfortunate accident. The cutthroat world of the Tri-System privateers greets you with a clenched fist and a knife pointed at your back. Your only order of business is survival. You've got just enough credits to afford something resembling a new ship. It takes more than just a bucket of bolts to make it in this world; you'll need upgrades, and most important of all: money. The sector is brimming with "business" opportunities, but who can you trust? Legal or not, it's time to trade, travel, and battle your way through a place where high risk equals high reward and only those with the brass reap the rewards.
Privateer 2: The Darkening is the premier open universe space trading and combat sim. Blaze your own path through the Tri-System by either hook or crook. Take any mission you see fit, without rules or restrictions. Corner the market as you work out trade routes with the most reward. The universe is waiting for you, Privateer.

Nostalgia incarnate
I used to play this game often when I was young. It surprises me how well it holds up using dosbox. if you like space sims, try this one out. The story is cool, though the game does not exactly help you get started. And if combat is frustrating to you, first toggle invulnerability and you can have a fun time :)

Clive Owen's greatest performance
No joke. I was properly enamoured with this game back in the day, even if the gameplay itself was very slightly limited there was an immense amount of character from the presentation, not just the proper "FMV is the next big thing" feel of the acting but the way individual locations are displayed and characterised. It made me believe, as a young child, that I was immersed in the kind of edgy, chaotic galaxy displayed. Smuggling illegal goods, exploring distant mysteries. Hiring wingmen. Hiring Alopecia Cook, who helped me out of many a tight situation. It came on 4 CDs, didn't it? I'm not sure. Each CD had a different colour. How blessed we were to pass through that age of gaming.
