Space Rangers

#1 Post by muxec »

Great TBS/RPG game. Almost unknown on the West due to bad publisher and copy protection. Favorite game of Russian MOO2 champion :)
http://www.excalibur-publishing.com/ -Main Western publisher
http://www.microapp.com/ -Another publisher (French, English).
http://elementalgames.com/ -developer. English site is outdated.

IMHO one of the best PC game ever. Smoth simulation, large universe with freedom of action, many upgrades you want to buy and ancient mystery.

Apparently it has been translated, and is available in the west. Finding a copy is another matter, however. I've heard a LOT of good things about it.

Like turn based Escape Velosity Nova, but even more freedom in space. And simple, but strong RPG elements. You forge your "class" not by NPC dialog choises but by action.

It's absolutely original game not based on anything.

I can heartily recommend it... Brings me back to the days when I used to play Elite II!

I managed to pick it up cheap on http://www.play.com

Yet when I come in here the newest post is 2005 by someone else? This is the case with several threads in this forum. Weirdness with phpBB3.

It's an artifact of moving to the new BB software. The Ghost you see is probably a deleted spammer.
