has any body here heard of, or perhaps played SubSpace Continuum?
its a 2D multiplayer space shooter - (think of that old game Asteroids, except with better graphics, multiple ships, weapons, power-ups, and zones.)
its also free, and it does'nt take much to run it.

i used to play it in back when i was in high school, and i recently started playing it again about a month ago...
here is a screenshot, it is from the zone Death Star Battle
btw- I am necromancer2 in that screenshot.
Oh holy...
I played this back when it was free and called just "subspace". It had a really great CTF map.
Then I played it when it became $10 to buy it.
Then I played it when it was continuum.
It was alot of fun, alot of strategy involved for a 2d freeroam shmup.
Here's something that might interest you, that I stumbled across today: http://www.gog.com
