Single and multiplayer space shooter game.  Tried the trial version.

It's not bad in a diner dash or asteroids kind of way.  It's a top down space game.  Keyboard controls.  No way worth the $20 asking price.  It's like a flash game on steroids.

What I was expecting was an X-Wing vs Tie Fighter type thing.  I got . . . I dunno.  Not even close to that.  Fun cause it's Battlestar though.

I have a CH Products stick with about the same number.  Last Xmas I got a new < X52 > setup.  Super sweet, but a severly lacking software list.  As in, not many good joystick games out there.  I got IL2Strumovichnoskolinsnich or whatever the hell that word is.  Really good WWII combat flight sim.  Would like a good Mech game or space game though.  Which is what I was hoping BSG would have been.

Yea, I know.  I ain't seen a new Wing Commander, Privateer, or X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter type game in years.

I'd rebuy XvT if they'd just upgrade the graphics.  IIRC the max resolution is 640x480.  Besides that I think the game was about perfect.

I have many fond memories of TIE Fighter & X-Wing collectors editions.  Even as polygon-looking as the graphics were.
