All,

Found a new one. Still in development and no demo available. And, unfortunately, according to A Talent for War the developer has cancelled it for the time being --- he has run out of money, among other reasons. Regardless, it has a gorgeous visual style and certainly looked promising. Maybe some of you filthy rich forumers can finance it

The Universal

http://theuniversal.net/

quote:

The Universal is a unique, massively-multiplayer online game set in a virtual universe of realtime 3d worlds, owned and run by players.

You start in space in a single star system, with a range of worlds to visit and explore. By playing on worlds you can earn galactic credits with which to improve your space vehicle, fly to new star systems and... well, that depends on what you find when you get there....

Cellblock Squadrons

This one looks GOOD. Here's a quote from the site:

Delve into a future world where every criminal has a debt to society, and the darkness of space is where it's to be repayed. Join in missions with up to 99 other criminals and earn your freedom, so that one day, you can finally go home. Choose from five small craft and experience reflex busting gameplay, randomized weapon placements and some time in solitary confinement, as you fight against more than forty enemy battleships, bent on your entire squad's destruction.

You're not going to save the universe... this time, you're only going to save yourself.

Hostile Space

No description by developers.

Stellar Frontier

Stellar Frontier is a real-time multimedia 2-D action/strategy multiplayer internet game where you compete against (and cooperate with) other players around the world via the internet or a private intranet. There is no greater joy than commanding your own starship in real-time, patrolling the solar system in search of your enemies.

To play Stellar Frontier, you will need a computer running OS/2 Warp 3.0, OS/2 Warp 4.0, Windows 95/98, or Windows NT 4/5. Stellar Frontier is enhanced with full multimedia and network capabilities, but if you are not hooked up to a network, there is a single player mode, complete with computer opponents. In short, our goal with Stellar Frontier is to use whatever enhancements your computer offers to give maximum enjoyment to computer technophiles without excluding gamers with lower end configurations.

We have greatly enjoyed developing and testing Stellar Frontier and we're sure that you will too.

Galactic Dream

quote:

a space-based strategy game in which four species are fighting for their very survival. This game brings you the shaped wings of your very galactic dreams: you will command starships and terifying space monsters in real time, choosing your side next to the infatuous Terran Galactic Federation, Aldarian Warfleets, Sandking Psyarmada and, not to forget, the aggressive "world slayers", for whom the space is never enough!

cool, demo is available for download.

This looks pretty cool Drop Team

It runs on Windows XP, Linux and MacOS with multiplay.

Some points from the features which seem interesting.

* Deformable terrain with engineering vehicles digging out trenches in real time, ordnance created surface cratering and even trees toppling over under artillery fire.

* Huge, detailed and varied alien landscapes each planet accurately modeling its own gravity and atmospheric density, radically changing the tactical situation.

From the forums i understand that there be no infantry in the intitial version. Probably later with an add-on.

ABA Games

You'll find some pretty good freeware shoot 'em ups there. Take a look, they're under the "Windows" category. My fav is rRootage, it features different game styles from different games, like the Dreamcast games GigaWing (GW mode) and Ikaruga (IKA mode).

Looks like homage to StarFlight. It also looks like they just modified the Starflight engine. If you look at the screen shot section, the second shot in the first row, the earth orbital scan, exactly the same menu font and all around look to it. Not that that is a bad thing just an observation.

Anacreon

An update to the 1988 game of the same name

quote:

The mechanics of the game are simple. Each player assumes the role of a totalitarian ruler of a small galactic empire. Every player in turn examines status reports and issues orders each year, a simple process that includes determining which worlds can become colonies and deploying fleets to conquer them. Once all players have taken their turn, the computer updates all the worlds in the galaxy and the next year begins. There are no formal victory conditaions in the game, so a game doesn't ever have to end.
