FreeSpace 2, the follow up to the classic Descent: FreeSpace – The Great War is ready to engage you in the second round. Follow the Grand Terran Vasudan Alliance further into the mysteries of the Shivans. Get your flight stick and hit the flight deck. The last time was just a warm up.
One of the finest space combat sims every made with tons of community missions campaigns and games thanks to the fantastic people that has formed around the source port FS Open. The original campaign is highly reocmmeded if you like flying between big space ships wiping each other out with huge laser beams. Missionsign is mostly great despite a few annoying escort missions.
The Steam version is barely working out of...

First thing you need to know about this game is that you should not use steam to play it, but install the knossos launcher after and having the game installed on your computer in order to run the modded version with quality of life features and better graphics.

Why I recommend this game
This game is what made me the gamer I am today. I bought it back when it first came out, I bought it on Good Old Games and now I've bought it on Steam. Why? I'll tell you why - I believe it's the greatest game ever made.
Why this game is awesome and deserves your attention;

Doesn't work out of the box (shame on you, Steam, for allowing this to happen) but is easy enough to fix with the excellent Freespace Open Installer (http://www.fsoinstaller.com/). Do yourself a few favors:
1) Buy the game.
2) Install FSO.
3) Dust off your old joystick.
4) Enjoy playing this superb space combat simulator.
'Nuff said!

B) Go to the 'data' folder
C) DOUBLE click on the file 'FS2.reg'
D) Click 'Yes' When...
