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.

Privateer 2

Awesome!!! Nowadays, space sim games doesn't even come close to GOG. Games like Freelancer, FreeSpace 1 and 2, Archimedean Dynasty and Aquanox 1 and 2 are my all time favourites. Currently, I may add EVE on-line is the closer.

Best game ever!

I never got to complete this game since there was a bug that made it crash on CD3 when landing on a certain base. I soooo look forward to playing again!

sound but no game window ever opens?

why can't they get these DOS games working? i have to stop wasting my time with these DOS games that either don't work at all or have some other issues, i tried playing around with the config for this thing but had to give up all hope. sometimes you just want to play a game and not waste time trying to figure out why the game won't work, my advice to you is stay away from any games that need to use dosbox.
