Before 2000 I'd played a total of two space games.

Lunatic Fringe was a screensaver for the mac and I didn't own one for long.

This motherfucker to this day is the only TBS that doesn't bore me to tears. I still say Petroglyph plagiarized it hard when they were developing Empire At War. Everything is a remix I guess.

<---, Silpheed and R-Type.

To think these retro games could render distant planets/star with only 2D graphics and modern consoles cannot render the closest things without pop-in issues V__V;

Gameplay-wise it would be either the Wing Commander series or I-war.

Personal impact- Wing Commander: Privateer. The atmosphere of the game really pulled me in. The designs and the action. The story and the smartass protag helped, too.
