Tachyon: The Fringe completed
Ok this has got me liking GOG. Never owned the original game but did have a demo version that I played excesively, just because I could never find the game at my local stores. (And I've never got the Steam version working)
The one line Campbell makes that sums up the reasons to get the game:
"Whoa,,, That's a big gun" :) Epic space combat sim with great visuals and a story line that is really good.
A must have for GOG
Novalogic made some great games. It's a shame not to see them on this site.
Still my favorite space sim. Even if it doesn't have story telling on a Wing Commander level (cutscenes, actors), I prefered this games' flight system. Also the story itself was a reason to go on to the end.
Sadly, the only part I've played of this game was a demo on an old PC Gamer Magazine demo disc. But I freaking LOVED the demo, and I literally played all the way through it about 25 times. This is one game that I would definitely snap up "lickety-split" if it appeared on GOG's catalog.
You hear that, GOG?! Add this game, and you have guaranteed money in your pocket! :D
"Next time you pass by and drop in, keep passing by until you get to the river... and then drop in."
I would also love to see this sold on Gog. When it comes to older releases like this I prefer to buy from gog rather than steam. I used to have this and played it a lot on Windows ME back in the day. It was the second PC I ever purchased!!!!!!!!!!
I can install it on Windows 8.1 but it won't run properly! One of my all time favourite games and I'd love to be able to play it still.
Amazingly ebay still has copies really cheap and it installs straight into Windows 7 64 bit and amazingly......runs perfectly........obviously brilliant coding :)
I really would prefer to buy this on Gog instead of Steam. But I will have it soon!
You have Descent Freespace The Great War and Freespace 2 but not Tachyon The Fringe ????
A really cool space sim with main character voiced by the legendary Bruce Campbell. I really hope GOG.com gets this soon. It's so weird to see it in Steam, but not in Good Old Games.
Would love to buy this one DRM free.
Casting my vote for this game too for GOG. Please get it when you are able!
This fulfills all criteria:
-good
-old game
So add it to GOG finally!
I really want this game on GOG. One of the best space sims ever made, on par with Freespace 2 and the Wing Commander games in both story and gameplay.
I second this.
Tachyon was one of my first space combat sims and i still play it sometimes.
I wonder why it's on Steam but not on GOG.
This is a great game, my first ever space combat sim. It really should be on GOG.
I seriously liked this game. Casting Bruce Campbell as the main character was a fantastic move. I also really loved his sarcastic comments when you put in cheat codes.
Actually the game does work on everything up through Win 8. IF you're having trouble with it, visit the FringeSpace.org fan site for mods and help.
Why isn't this on gog
Would absolutely buy this game if it was made completely compatible with Windows and/or Mac, it's one of the best space sims ever made and the story is brilliant too!
I'm an aspiring gamedev and was thinking of using this game as inspiration for a project, would love to buy a copy to play it again, refresh my childhood memories, and learn from it's amazing design!
I would absolutely buy this the second it came out on GoG. This game was the sole reason I bought a flight stick for my old computer.
I have this on disk, but it won't play properly on Win XP, so having it on GOG would be a huge plus. Plus it has Bruce Campbell in it!!
yes please, have the cd and original box with manual (and poster, yay), but would love to purchase a GOG Windows 7-patched and ready to play-version of this overlooked classic!
This is by far my favorite space fighter game. The voice acting is second to none. It has a actually engaging story. The combat is approachable in the beginning, but gets tougher towards the end. Seriously, this is one of few games I have beaten multiple times. It is the only game I wish GOG had.
I love Wing Commander, Privateer and the Freespace series but in my heart, this will always be the best space opera game ever made! I needs to be on GoG!
Never played much of it and been a regret. Would love to see it on GoG.
Bruce Campbell!
C'mon people only 255 votes for this classy space sim? You can do better than that! Here is a You Tube Vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBRg7_iDwWg
It would be awesome to get this on gog!
I love this game... although I had to buy it with DRM from Novalogic. Having it here would repopulate the multiplayer community, I think. I'd buy it from here in nothing flat if it appears.
Tachyon is a great game and well worth getting. There was also a fan based re-make in the works using the Open Freespace engine. No recent updates though I am sad to say :( Details here www.moddb.com/mods/fringespace
Bruce Campbell. Enough said.
Throw in nGlide and we'd be all set!
I had a demo for this game, I never saw the full version, I had quite some good times with that demo, would buy this in a heart beat.
A fantastic Space Combat Sim that will have no problem making you money.
My all time favorite space combat sim. Having it on GOG would be a dream come true!
Any space game narrated by Bruce Campbell is a must for GOG. Fun series of missions and fulfilling plot.
