This is a thread about the best game in existence, a game that thousands of people still play to date because it's everything you will ever need. Eat your heart out NMS, here comes LIGHTSPEED, by Microprose!

...what a terrible game that was. I remember playing this as a kid, roughly around the same time I tried to play Battlecruiser (which wouldn't even let me launch a fighter without crashing). I had no idea what those probe thingies did at first. The fights were short and repetitive. But there was something about this game... the art style was just so weird, the way you could repair ship components which just so happened to look just like baby toys...
Oh and I totally pirated this game of course. It was one of several games that got me interested in 3d graphics programming actually.
