for all u p0s3ur5, Space Rangers 2 is the best top-down space game
(equipment upgrades, trading, missions) i've played. plus, you can
play 1 hour or 12 hour sessions, save, and come back later. i got the
full version via direct2drive, but I think there's a demo too.
\_ Of course, the demo is only 1.2 GB to download.
\_ Er.... I bought SR2 a few months ago. I'm still on my first game.
It has a lot of potential but there was no there there. Some of
the mini games are cool, some are a PITA. The RTS mini game got
so fast and brutal and the UI was so primitive it became
unplayable even though RTS is my favorite genre. The pizza making
contest was amusing. Space combat is irritating because the
targets keep docking at local planets in mid combat. Some of the
alien-alien humor and backstory made me laugh, approaching the humor
in some other classics like Star Control 2. At the start of the
game I suggest getting a trading type ship (forget weapons, you
can't kill anything anyway), and get a long range engine and big
fuel tank. There is a *lot* of hopping from star to star and going
A->B is much better than having to stop in C, D, and E on the way
to refuel.
\_ I don't play the RTS, and I make sure to let targets fly far
away from any dock before I open up. I stopped doing assassinatn
missions anyway since killing pirate hulls piss off all Peleng
planets. i also agree that long-jump engines are the #1 priority
along with trading drugs/luxuries (primarily peleng) in the early
game. Mid-game, courier with high courier bonus makes money
faster. SC2 is a classic, but I really enjoy SR2 ... better than
Diablo w/o the sore-fingers and potion-chugging.

\_ What are some good osX games? Are there any free ones?
