Anyone remember the game Subspace?

you can get the newest client free at http://www.subspace.net


For those who doens't know what it is, It's kinda like Asteroids, except with better graphic and muiltplayer, I personally think it is still one of the best game around. First. while some point and click online PRG game charge you for $20 a month, this game is still free. Secondly, you play against another human all the time. Every other ship is controled by another person somewhere on the planet. not some computer controled monster over and over. Thridly, I believe it is the most massive Muilt player games. I don't see anything else (that are free) can possiblity support 50+ people on the same screen! forth, it is not system demanding. a Pentium 200 can handle it fine. A dial up can play it resonable enough (of coruse Boardband is a plus)

It also have many new features coming out every so often (ie the recent Continuum 0.36 is completely redone, soon 0.37 within a few months) , sure beats many MMORPG game online that been the same for years and years. Plus it have one of the best build in chat included. and decent channel/squad/player record manages. And there are like 10 different league running on different zones (the zone I play in is Death Star Battle, at http://www.deathstarbattle.com , one of the most newbie friendly zone in my opinion, ((My squad is here at http://www.grail.ws )))


Anyway, I'm sure most of you have checked this game out before, and might have forgot about it one reason or the other. But regurdless as far as free game goes it is still one of the best. So I feel the need to bring it up again. I means, come on, it is free, it is worth a try, or even a second try with the new improved client. I personally own a 50 systems Lan Gaming center and I still find myself coming back to this little game...Here (http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?threadid=306777&pagenumber=3) for how my cafe looks like :D

I know like 2 people that are addicted to this game, they play it everyday and have championships of it online, I don't see why they like it so much. They run it at huge resolutions like 1600x1200 to where the ship is about the size of an ant. I'll stick to my quake and unreal type games.

I can understand why people can make fun of this game. But it's enjoyment is at it's simplity yet depth game play. Plus it is hightly intergated as a community rather then just a game.

Yes running it in hight resolution actually helps because you can see more. it seem boring at first but if you get to know more people in the game and start to understand how it is played everyone get hook.

of corusr it have it's down size. people who doens't knwo that game usually make fun of it.
