Yep, Underdogs is (was) a great site. Unfortunately the owner had to discard hundreds of titles due to pressure from the software companies, but most very old games can still be acquired.

LOL

Yeah, I know, kinda confusing... :)

I just thought the character "Kurgen" was quite cool, in a super-nasty sorta way.

One game I recommend with all my hearth is Alessandro "Alex.tg/Fottifoh" Gignola's [url=members.designheaven.com/~44/noctis.html]Noctis IV[/url].
It is the gratest space-exploration simulator to date, and tough the graphics may not be so great as Celestia or Orbiter; the game itself is extremely addicting.

The sequel to Noctis IV, Noctis V: The Galactic Odyssey; will have way better graphics (up to the graphics of Orbiter and Celestia), many new features and an all revolutionery engine.
Noctis V is scheduled for release Epoc 6011:600; in Earth date, that's late 2002, somewhere in December.
With Noctis V, Celestia and Orbiter, freeware is about to change the space-simulator genre forever...

Edit:

I have written a simple FAQ about Noctis V and its many features.
If you have any questions about Noctis V, please copy and paste the following adress into the adress-bar to view it: http://starcon.bravepages.com/Noctis%20V%20FAQ.doc

You can also view the HTM-version of the FAQ here

All information in this FAQ has been approved by Alessandro (the creator of Noctis).
