Freespace on steam! I've probably spent hundreds of hours playing the sequel and its numerous user made campaigns, so this was a must buy. Although the controls may seem a bit daunting at first, once you get the hang of it the flight model is one of the most satisfying you can find. Don't let the dated graphics put you off from an old school gem from the space sim's golden age!

It should be noted that the game tops out at a resolution of 640x480 without any mods, and thus the steam overlay doesn't work properly. A widescreen solution can be found here.

But whizzing around asteroids in 640x480 does have it sown appeal :P
