A total sleeper hit of it's day.
User Rating: 8.7 | Darklight Conflict PC
I picked up the Darklight Conflict right when it came out for a mere $20. Money well spent. Overall it's your standard space sim, with a good solid storyline, great ship designs and a powerful graphics engine (which I suspect must have been written entirely in assembly, as it BLAZED by other sims of the day, with better graphics and a better framerate). What makes this title exceptional was it's gameplay, which was more arcade-like than the norm. You also receive 2 copies of the game for that twenty bucks. Which allows you to give another copy to a friend, and you can deathmatch. I tried this out a few times and it was terrific fun. I'm sure nowadays however this game won't shine quite as bright as it did back then. I doubt it will even run properly on today's hardware as well, as it was a DOS4GW game and totally made for that environment (though at it's peak, right before everyone started making games for Win95). If you do get a chance to try this, and it works, you're in for a fun little time though. Enjoy.
