Raiders of the Galaxy.



<span class="bold">Space Rogue Classic</span>, the timeless space combat simulator with plenty of RPG elements, is available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Your crew didn't deserve that fate. While you were out there on your own, investigating a derelict ship floating through space, a band of ruthless Manchi raiders appeared out of nowhere and wiped out everyone aboard your trading vessel, the Princess Blue. Now you're on the warpath, seeking to avenge your mates and perhaps become a class-A space rogue in the process.
Those are both admirable goals, but to get there you've got a lot of space to cover. You will be constantly alternating between the 3D view used in space combat and exploration, and the top-down perspective through which you navigate the planetary outposts, talk to NPCs, and handle trades, quests, or ship upgrades. The galaxy is a pretty vast space, but there's no wormhole big enough for these despicable Manchi to hide in!



Travel across the galaxy, upgrade your ship, and become the ultimate <span class="bold">Space Rogue Classic</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Hillsy_: Good game, played on the old migga. Often compared to the original Elite and in some ways better. What sound card does the PC version use? Tempted with this one.
yeah I also had this on Amiga :D loved it.

Now on for F.O.F.T.! ;)

The dreaded PC speaker.

Oh God! This was my FAVOURITE GAME as a young kid in the late 80s. Had it on the Commodore 128 though, never played it on an 'IBM' :)

Did anyone else suck at trying to get through the wormholes, and so had to play in the same system in perpetuity??

And it's on Linux too!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU GOG/Nightdive!!

It's a Desert and Jungle Strike quick fix, I know, but looks amazing!

Was there anything but PC speaker back in 1989?

Looks awesome. Controller friendly and all, so it's a no brainer for those strike series fans ;)

Oh boy, I still have my long box copy of Road Rash for 3D0. The memories with that one are strong. :)

JMich: Only attempt to fly with a keyboard if you wish to punish yourself, since when using the keyboard you do not get a smooth movement, but each time you press the key you move one unit, so to turn 90 degrees to the left, you'll have to tap it about 90 times or so.
Thanks for this. Since I only ever play with kb+m, I guess I'll have to skip this one.

Wishlisted! Fantastic release!

This is SUCH A GOOD GAME!

I played a bunch of it on the Atari ST back in the day and have been DESPERATE to revisit it for years now.

It's a really interesting combination of genres -- and one which modern space sims haven't quite managed to catch up with using modern technology. 3D spaceflight and combat coupled with quasi turn-based long-range navigation and Ultima-style wandering around on starbases interacting with characters.

Fond memories of shuttling messages back and forth between the sisters Cebak and Tiwa. Quite why I remember that after about 20 years I have no idea!
