The game you'd expect to see on the verge with the rest of trash ready for Council Pick-Up day!

I got this from the coverdisc of a magazine I subscribe to and on the cover it's got all the usual latest'N'greatest...

Where Universal Combat (the current "Freebie") is featured...

FREE GAME! (Written in pointing arrow)

UNIVERSAL COMBAT

"The epic space sim, 1000's of hours of gameplay, yours for free"

and in bold "NO CATCH!"

Looked on the 3000AD site and found UC is one of the games that no longer recieves support and can be downloaded for free.

Playing the game...

Sight & Sound is no Da Vinci masterpiece, it looks and sounds reasonable.
The concept is there! The idea of playing a game where you fight all four theaters of combat is quite a neat idea.
The control scheme is really something to be desired...
Seriously you would get thousands apon thousands of hours just trying to figure as to how to cover some ground in this "Epic Space Sim".

But I'd would spend a greater deal more time playing either Vega Strike or Privateer: Gemini Sector (VS: Privateer Redux).

Universal Combat is a "Total Knock-Off" by comparison when compared to likes of Vega Strike which is an "Actual" freeware title.
