This game is brutally hard (aside from getting the steam version to work). Its a great mix of Sim and Arcade flight combat. The missions are more in depth than alot of other flight games of the time and plays like an actual sim, rather than an arcade action game. Youll provide close air support, and escort bombers, and uncover a.....story of some sort. The games translation is also kind of hilarious. Your Commander really lays into you in the after action reports. Would be interesting if Multiplayer for this game made a comeback as this and the sequel (Echelon: Wind Warriors) supports 48 players. Theres not much like this game out there and its unique in the flight sim world. It does work really well with HOTAS through joystick gremlin (or your vjoy setup of choice) though the actual game only recognizes 1 joystick. At least 1 pov and 16 buttons, not sure the axis limit though I have 4 through vjoy. Would love to see this game added to GOG as the Steam version is a bit strange to get running correctly and if GOG can implement the fixes out of the gate, this game might get the recognition it deserves

My mom gave it to me. I was surprised by the variety of weapons, ships and detail in the physics and damage to the ships, they could be shot down with a well-placed shot.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici
The Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, ViciThe Settlers II: Veni, Vidi, Vici is a real-time strategy computer game, released by Blue Byte Software in 1996. Its gameplay is very similar to that of its predecessor, The Settlers, albeit with a Roman theme and improved graphics. It is the second game in The Settlers series. Many fans of the franchise consider this the best game of the series, primarily because future instalments changed the transport management aspect considerably. This popularity encouraged Blue Byte to publish a remake of the game, The Settlers II (10th Anniversary) for Windows and release a port of the original game on Nintendo DS.
