This is a 'free for all' thread where you can discuss any games available on the PC or consoles.... yeah I guess you can include Mac.

Portable space sims

Post by Tattorack »

Hi guys!I've been searching Google for it, but surprisingly it came up with mediocre results... so I decided to ask here:Are there any "portable" space sims out there? As in, Space sim games easily installed on a usb flash drive (of 2GB or 8GB) without having to use a friends computer to drag everything from the C drive or running into admin stuff?Thanks ^^

There are many I am sure, but to get you started, Drop by Elite Forever. In there you will find self contained packages of all the old Elite games. They should be fine for a USB stick.

Not too sure what you mean Tattorack do you mean a game that can be run and played straight from a USB drive without being installed on a computers drive?.
