The year is 2367, thirty two years after the Great War. Or at least what YOU thought was the Great War. The seemingly endless tide of Shivan capital ships, bombers and fighters with super advanced technology was nearly overwhelming.
As the Terran and Vasudan races finish rebuilding their decimated societies, a disturbance lurks in the not-so-far reaches of the Gamma Draconis system. Your nemesis has arrived... and they are wondering what happened to their scouting party...
The game continues on the story from Descent: FreeSpace, once again thrusting the player into the role of a pilot fighting against the mysterious aliens, the Shivans. While defending the human race and its alien Vasudan allies, the player also gets involved in putting down a rebellion of those elements of Vasudan (Hammer of Light) and Human (Neo Terran Front) forces which don't want to cooperate with one another.
This one is 1999 Bargin Bin awesomeness, Avalible for $6 from Good Ol' Games, http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/freespace_2
And without a doubt, one of, if not the best Sci-fi Space Flight Simulator / Combat games ever made. With everything from your fighters systems to manage, ECM, Aspect missiles and countermeasures, along with the ability to target individual parts of enemy ships, such as turrets, coms, engines ect, this classic title still puts many new games to shame.

And those are 1999 Graphics.
Now, say a modding community were to get their hands on something like the source code, and the result, the FS2 Open Scource Code Project.

I've been playing this one for years, and it never ceases to just keep getting better and better.

"...And so then I says! 'I caught me a kangaroo!'"
For some reason the Yanks love hearing about that one time...
