                                                    Homeworld doesn't really count since its more an RTS than a Space Sim but since you said "space game" I'm not going to continue being pedantic.
 
My opinion on this though is that if you've never played Descent/Conflict: FreeSpace The Great War or FreeSpace 2 then you've never played a space game

                                                    Space Quest 1 Remake
                                                
                                            
                                                    X-Wing (the original, not vs. TieFighter)
 
Or how about Elite, does anyone remember that? A huge hit for the 286 platform

                                                    StarLancer is cool. Very pretty to look at and plays quite well as well.
 
I also thought that Wing Commander Prohpecy was great as well.

                                                    Privateer 2 or Freespace 2. 2 of my favorite games ever.
                                                
                                            OP
                                                    hmm I just downloaded the freespace 2 demo, can I play it with just a mouse? Or do I have to have a jotstick or gamepad to move correctly?
                                                
                                            
                                                    You can use a mouse, obviously a joystick is preferable though.
                                                
                                            
                                                    Defender, or better yet, R-Type. Astro-blaster was pretty cool on Atari, it was from a little-known company named Activision...
 
                                                
                                            
                                                    Well, it's not in space all the time, but Descent 3 is friggin' awesome! Only reason I bought a joystick.
                                                
                                            
                                                    Yep Clutch...you had the 2600 too? Atari ruled...
I was looking at the Commodore 64 like i'm looking at a 4way Hammer now (if there is a 4way config, lol)!

                                                    Star Control 2 is clearly the best space game. They need to remake it for Win9x!!! (so all of you who haven't played it can realize what a good game it is)
 
This is the best space game, *happy campers*, and for all who disagree, it is *dancing*!!! (you'd have to have played it to get that last line)
