Magichat Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I am trying find an old 2D space game I have not played in probably 7+ years. Basically the objective of the game was to map out the universe. You could dock your ship at different planets and find new things. I think there were three factions. I know there was a yellow and orange ship that was oval in shape called "Lazarus" it was an awesome frigate. There was also another faction whose colors were red/grey they had a HUGE battle ship that crushed anything in its path pretty much. Anyone have any ideas? The graphics where actually pretty nice for a 2D game. It was a top down 2D game. Edited January 11, 2010 by Magichat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrian Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Space Quest was a side-scrolling adventure game, not a top-down space sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magichat Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 If it helps I remember you could board ships and take them over to get a new ship.... It was kinda rpg/action adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightIdea Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'm going to say Hardwar... It's the only game I've played that had a Lazarus ship, brings back memories, lol! Other than that, maybe a Star Trek game of sorts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magichat Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 maybe I am rusty on the Lazarus name... But it was def not part of star trek and it was a top down 2D game. Your goal was to explore/harvest/missions/fight it was not multiplayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShamRocker1 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm trying to find one as well. Side shooter through several different levels (just remember it being asteroid like and a solid side on the right). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magichat Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 ^So, the game isn't free? It might have been included on the comp I had at the time I can't remember. But the Igadzra warships I definitely remember! Does anyone know if there is an emulator for the demo version for PC? Website says its mac only :( I don't want the nova version I want my childhood version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
