What was your favorite shareware game?
(lemmy.world)
I'm pretty sure Doom will be the most popular (and my pick too), but I'll throw a shout-out to Epic Pinball; that Android table was the best one in the game anyway.
I was a huge fan of Solar Winds: The Escape. Cool plot, aliens, dogfights, ship systems management, evil shadow governments, rebels.... what's not to love? It was my introduction to the genre and will always hold a special place
Oh my gawd. I was reading the comment above yours when Solar Winds popped into my head. Then I scroll down to see this. Bless you.
I'm so stoked to see this here. It was my first thought when I saw the thread.
It was a stand out experience from my childhood.
For real though, I'd love to see a modern take on this - something in between NMS, Mechwarrior, and FTL. I've not found anything out there with the correct combination of exploration, ship customization and management, and sinister plot. Several games get closer, but they're all missing something
