RE: Travelleresque Space Trader

<r>Here is a let's play of ASCII Sector. Not the best video, but the only one I found that wasn't instantly offensive: <YOUTUBE id="Of-7UDNtlxQ"><s>[media]</s>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of-7UDNtlxQ<e>[/media]</e></YOUTUBE> I love that you dock at a station, walk to your airlock, and then walk ...

RE: Travelleresque Space Trader

<r>Yeah, Prospector RL is awesome. Unfortunately the latest version has a bug with ranged combat that trivializes the game, and development has stopped. But it is still fun to play and explore. You might enjoy Starflight, there is a fan made spiritual successor you can get here, which is pretty good ...

RE: Travelleresque Space Trader

<t>Star Traders 2 has two predecessors from the Trese Brothers, I think there are free versions on Android you can check out. Those games are based on the ORIGINAL "Star Traders" aka "Star Lanes" from 1984, you can probably find it and play in Dosbox. Speaking of Dosbox, there are some old games ...

RE: The "Correct" Control Surface for Most Games

<t>Well, frankly it sounds like it is exactly right for me, then. I don't play much FPS or RTS. When I play EV-likes I build ships with turrets so I don't have to aim. My favorite games all have turns in them, or can be paused mid-action and orders changed. I play on my laptop with a touch pad, and ...

RE: The "Correct" Control Surface for Most Games

<t>I think all the competitive or "professional" FPS players have always used, and continue to use, keyboard and mouse. I'm not a big FPS player though, and I'm not convinced that is the best in all situations. I first got a dual-stick (PS style) controller for the PC to play old twin stick arcade ...
