I remember this site from a while back but never registered. Lately It's been a daily stop. Love the site, keep up the great work.I'm 35 and I am addicted to space sims. I have been since the original wing commander and privateer. I never had a C64 so I missed out on some great ones. Others that are noteworthy in no particular order:WC seriesTie FighterPriv 1 & 2FreelancerStarlancerFreespace 1 & 2Archemedian Dynasty (technically not space but still awesome atmosphere)IWarIWar EoC (one of my favorites)Star Wolves 1-3Homeworld 1 & 2Star FuryParkan 2Starfleet Command 1-3ST online for a whileHardWar (also a favorite for atmosphere)StarshatterTachyon the FringeTerminusX series (want to love it more but the combat never feels quite right but amazing games)Star control 2 
...more recently...Evochron Mercenaries (really starting to look and feel great, might be worth buying track ir for)Starpoint GeminiPrecursors (fun game with some space sim elements)I know there are many others I am forgetting. Although not space simes I have to mention the Mechwarrior series (from the very first one)and the Earthsiege/Starsiege series (the mech game, not Tribes) for taking countless hours of my life willingly away from me. This isn't even getting into console/handheld games (like Infinite Space). I'm also a huge WH40k junkie.Also I much prefer a good SP experience to a MMO though I did enjoy ST online for a bit.Again this a a great resource for a niche market with some wonferful gems.Ok, that's my intro. I'm off to cruise the void some more.VistarnhArmchair Captain and Space Superiority Pilot
