I voted Elite... though I'd rather play the X series. Let me tell you why. It is because this wonderful masterpiece inspired all that we love today. That is why it should win this award. :wink:

I cant believe that you forgot Wing Commander :evil:, there may be games that have the space part better, thats after everyones prefering (especialy now after all this years, like Starlancer) but if you count everything together than NO game can reach the Wing Commander univers even close. It was, it is and it will always be a unqiue diamont in computer genre scene and from the quality of all games the past 2 years i hardly believe that ever one game will ever get close to it. Wing Commander arent a game, its a UNIVERS!

Wing Commander lives forever!

X-Wing - Tie Fighter games, another missing entity,, and for all Wingcommander effectively set the ball in motion for a whole genre of space sims they also pushed a retired porn star and mark hamil on us again,, ;-)

but like X-Wing and Tie Fighter for all they were hugely entertaining I personaly think they wernt so much simulators as shoot em ups (spliting hairs I know :-P )

What about Starglider I/II by argonaught software (Jez Sans) for the Amiga... That was cool ;)

Hmmm, I can't decide....Loved IW2 and go back to it from time to time... Loved Privateer 2, Loved Elite on my Amiga (more than my C64 version).

Freespace 1/2 were cool too....

X-Tension...played that far too much :)

A rambling thought ..

A apple is round
eggs are round
our first technological breakthrough was round (wheel)
suns are round
the earth is round
planets are round
space is round

.. is there a circle in our lifes somewhere .. maybe, we are all caught in this circle, and oneday in the future, we will get to the beginning again and wonder, why did we do it? .. ;))

Well... just to make things fair... really... ONLY to make things fair you should be Freelancer up there as a possibility also. IN ALL FAIRNESS.

I think that post was being sarcastic. At least, I hope he was being sarcastic. I mean, Elite came out years before "Doctor" Smart even began working on BC, so how could Elite be based on it?
