In this game you can fight for supremacy on with strategy as well as while dogfighting. You can move your carrier around the map (think endless space or Sins of a solar empire with planets being linked by strings), conquer worlds and add your own defenses and factories. With your forces assembled you can go and hunt down the enemy flagship and bombard it with torpedoes to push them from the system. I had a great time playing this with my friends when I was younger, the split screen really helped so you could fight against your friends and elbow them if they blew up your ship. Great fun and a definite rebuy for me!
This was one of the games that I joined this site for. I had the original cd game back when it was released and it was one of the first games I found myself thoroughly engrossed in. The story is fantastic, the combat is simple yet offers enough flexibility to not get boring. Without giving anything away, you play Twinsen, a young Quetch who lives on Twinsun. You start having strange dreams and find yourself thrown in prison because of them. After escaping you find yourself on the wrong side of the law trying to make sense of these odd dreams. Along the way you meet some fantastic characters in varied locations. The music is moving and the videos are great. In game animations are fun and quirky and give the characters a sense of personality. The puzzles in the game are fun and there is nothing too cryptic that ruins the enjoyment. My only complaint (though not worth docking a star for it) is that by popping the original cd into a cd player you could listen to the orchestral music from the game, it would have been nice to see that as an extra here on gog.com, but this is still a must buy in my opinion!
