Happy memories playing the original game , captured the imagination.

Hope it makes its target so I can go Thargoid hunting again !

awesome, i loved the original

i hope, if they make it, it doesnt lose the old magic with too much focus on graphics etc

There's a free iOS game called galaxy on fire II which is very similar

In the meantime try oolite, whch is free and has loads of user mods.

Yeah that rings a bell, think I tried that one a few years back. Looks like it might struggle to make its kickstarter goal by a few thousand

Think it made it!
