The graphics are archaic, but the gameplay was awesome. You could build your own custom missions, then fly them. I remember having enemy naval ships fighting each other.
Definitely cool with a joystick. I played this a lot back in the late nineties. Hours and hours of fun.
This was my second ever flightsim (after F-19) and the sheer scope of planes and weapons available, the mission editor, the intro movies, made this game near and dear to my heart. I still remember practicing carrier landings, learning air combat maneuvers, and days and days of pouring over the thick detailed manual to learn systems and air combat strategies. From the venerable F-4 to the cutting edge X-31, this game was stuffed with content. I started playing this when I was in the single digits age wise, I loved aviation but this game let me actually play with all the planes I had read about in books and seen at airshows. Over 30 years later, I still credit this game as starting me down the path to my career in aviation, allowing me to take my first steps into the wild blue yonder.
Advertised as "The Mother of all Flight Sims" on the back of the box is not far fetched with this one. It combined all the expansions and spin offs of US Navy Fighters released back in 1994 for DOS (Marine Fighters, Jane's ATF, NATO Fighters, Jane's USNF'97). The graphics at the time of release back in 1997 maybe felt a bit antiquainted, as many flight sims already used 3dfx accelerated graphics, but the gameplay was still a blast (btw that last screenshot with F-22 over the desert is from Jane's USAF and not FA). And the amount of content is just mindblowing, with 6 campaigns, hundreds of single missions and over 100 aircraft to fly. It also has a mission builder and still active modding scene. A true classic in need of preservation for sure!

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.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Spy HunterOriginating in the arcades, Spy Hunter is a driving action game played from an overhead point of view. Your car is equipped with machine guns to help you get past the numerous enemies out on the road (be careful not to shoot any civilians, though!) Occasionally you will come across a weapons van, and if you drive into the back of the van your car becomes equipped with a second weapon (such as smoke screen, oil slick, or missiles). At several points the road splits and you can enter a boathouse which transforms your car into a boat temporarily. If you drive far enough the seasons change as well (watch out for icy conditions during winter!). The enemy cars will do anything to stop you, including running you off the road, firing guns from the back of a limo, or dropping bombs from a helicopter.Action
