sanctified Veteran Posted September 8, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 8, 2009 I've always loved those games that let you to roam free, gather resources, make money, like a mini life simulation. Recently I've tried Privateer Gemini Gold, but its hard, all the bases look a like and some missions are ridiculous (I kept my game opened for hours trying to reach New Caledonia and I never got near). I wonder if there any other games like this one, except more enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR_Candyman Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 eve online is very much like privateer, just outside the ship and it's an mmo. You don't have to quest at all if you don't want to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Kompressor Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Runescape has all those things... http://www.runescape.com/ I think you can play free or buy additional upgrades rather than earn it in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Veteran Posted September 8, 2009 Veteran Share Posted September 8, 2009 Ahh Privateer. Still have that, still play it. Completed it before, it's not easy but I find the strategy pretty exciting. Just make sure you have a nav map printed out you can refer to and you'll be able to find proper jump routes. Tip: The original Privateer runs fine in DOSBox and is more complete and less buggy.

Dashel Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Might try Dark Star One, its probably the most recent thing in the genre. Prior to that Freespace or Tachyon. If combat isn't your thing you can always try out the X series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you feel about MMORPGs, but what you've just described is essentially EVE Online...which is no coincidence, since they modeled EVE after the Privateer/Elite types of games.

SMELTN Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Eve online isn't free though is it? I would be interested to see if there is a really good free space ship flying type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Yeah X3 is the game(s) he's looking for. X3 oh and that older space trader game where everyone could create their own little persistent servers. That was a pretty good game, even if it was mouse control only, it had really good mouse control though, but was a lot simpler than X3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
