We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

Even after 22 years, no one has ever topped Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. (It's like Civ, but caters to a slightly different flavor of nerd.)

Anyone else here ever play ASCII Sector? It's a loose remake of Wing Commander: Privateer, done as a roguelike -- all graphics are in (simulated) textmode. It's surprisingly fun.



Ship-to-ship combat takes a while to really get the hang of. I recommend saving up for a rear turret with an AI,. then when you go into combat, you can just kind of point your butt at the enemy.
