I have fond memories of this game, if memory serves Homeworld and this game were developed at the same time, so it's kind of interesting to see another take on 3D movement in space, that didn't take notes from Homeworld. The two things that stand out in my memory are the soundtrack (which was hard to describe, the only way I can think to describe it is as a "big band from hell"(which is a good thing)) and the "desktop dreamscape" software which is still available for download off Super X's website which turned your desktop's wallpaper into a 3D background from Far Gate. I genuinely hope this will be added to the list of games as it is interesting from a historical perspective if nothing else, although I am personally nostalgic for the game.

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.
