25 best space games ever

EVE Online (2003)

PC, Mac
Set in a huge single server online galaxy of over 7500 star systems containing moons, planets, wormholes and asteroid belts, EVE Online is an MMORPG which is easily as addictive as World of Warcraft, minus the elves and magic.

Skills in the game can be learned in real time, even if you're not actually playing and players can make a (virtual) fortune in EVE's thriving economy, trading and manufacturing weapons, ships, ammunition and technology with fellow gamers.

    Now, if this was a poll, at least the fan-boys wouldn't react quite like this.

    ...and Elite (innovative) had a much great impact than Elite 2 (buggy)

    ...and WC:The Darkening was MUCH better than WC:Privateer

    ...and while strictly speaking not a "space game", I myself am surprised that Missile Command isn't there for its trackball excellence.

    ...and you've included so many side scrollers, and not included the best two best ones (my opinion)... Defender & Scramble.

    But I'm not going to rant.

    Oooh, how about a 25 best side scrollers?
    Defender
    Scramble
    Green Beret
    Aliens
    Willow
    Sky Kid
    etc.

    Hmmm maybe 25 won't be enough.

    Those guys are right about Frontier. If you loved that, or the original Elite then you'll be interested that their creator (David Braben) is kickstarting development of the next sequel, Elite Dangerous. Have a look here:

    The original Frontier: Elite II on the Amiga wasn't buggy. I played it for months without a hitch. It's sequel was a bit buggy however.
