I'm so high right now

Killjoy

or SUBSPACE I guess

It's an old abandoned zero friction physics space shooter that's been maintained by players for quite a while now. I used to play a lot in middle school and I'm sure some of you have played this before. I felt like playing again.

Wiki intro:

SubSpace is a two-dimensional space shooter computer game published in 1997 by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE)[2] which was a finalist for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Online Game of the Year Award in 1998.[3] This game, now freeware,[4] incorporates quasi-realistic zero-friction physics into a massively multiplayer online game through the Continuum game client.[5] It is no longer operated by VIE; rather, it subsists by support from fans and players of the game, who provide servers and technical updates.[6] The action is viewed from above, which presents challenges very different from those of a three-dimensional game. The game has no built-in story or set of goals; players may enter a variety of servers, each of which have differing objectives, maps, sounds, and graphics.

Although falling short of modern standards, SubSpace is widely considered an early entry in the massively multiplayer online genre due to its unprecedented player counts[7].

Hosting and servers I don't know about, but if we wanted to play we could do it in SSCU(or was it SSCX?) Extreme Games.

Spoiler:

Man the graphics look pretty terrible in stills huh

Here's the download for the Continuum client .40

The Extreme Games server has thirty playing right now I think.

Oh shit I remember this from years ago. I had a friend who was addicted.

trentsteel

trentsteel

Have you guys seen Ghosts of Mars

Its fucking terrible.

They just had a flashback within a flashback within a flashback within a flashback and I say that with absolutely no exaggeration.

trentsteel

Installed, playing...

J3p

I played this game and didn't like it so I uninstalled it! Suck that!

You're all taking the wrong approach, you have to find a server that has the Death Star map running 24/7 and add the Star Wars textures so you can fly tie fighters against rebel scum.

trentsteel

ok the part where I make a profile is smarter than me

Burning Organ

I remember this.
That is, I remember sucking at this.

Druhim

huh, I remember enjoying this back in the day but so far it seems like the more populated servers are set up to only allow players with more points to fly the more advanced ships while newbies can only fly the wimpiest ships so they can just kill you over and over

and god, the server I was playing on had a loop of the intro to Enter Sandman playing over and over and over and over
I wanted to stab someone in the eye

Druhim

ok, this game is butts full of aids

How many people can play together at once?

Many many people.

Does this work in Vista?

Nogs

oh man I used to play subspace all the fucking time. that was a blast

Legacy

I used to a long while ago as well...

Seems like the DBZ map is down though. It was pretty decent. Had to capture all 7 dragon balls and could get a dragon radar and everything. It was pretty sweet.

I played so much of that game. It changed like crazy over the years, with pure capture the flag stuff and buying equipment, to versions where you play soccer with jet bikes, to fighting aliens in space. So awesome.
