    Remember playing this quite some time at a friends. But I think we played Wing Commander even more for some reason.

    And way before that: Elite on a C64. That blow my mind at the time. Connected lines in 3D! Wow. And yes, I am old.

    But my favorite of all time has to be Privateer II - The Darkening. Relatively open world with a cool background story and incredibly immersive with fitting prerendered cutscene visuals and lots of real actors doing the keyscenes.

      Nothing like sitting in the lounge of the TCS Tiger’s Claw, discussing the recent battle or the state of the war.

      The fact that Elite was made to work with that amount of complexity on a C64 was absolutely mindblowing at the time. So often we forget how far things have come.
