Hyperspeed
Even though it is a dos based game, it is still fun to play. It works well on my Windows XP machine, with more intense graphics and color than on my older dos machines. Although gameplay is more basic than a lot of games out there, it is still fun to explore the galaxy and colonise it for future humanity. You can play the game multiple times, and each time do something different (sign treaties vs. blow them up) and win the game each time - maybe. All in all a fun game to play.

Lightspeed and Hyperspeed are without a doubt two of the most underrated space sims of all time designed by celebrated Gunship 2000and F-15 Strike Eagle III designer Andy Hollis. Although billed as "adventure/strategy" games, they are actually space sims with some adventure game elements. Still, categorization quibbles can't hide the fact that they are two of the very best-- with fluid animations, cool ships, and great interface. In all, great space exploration sims that follow in the venerable Elite tradition. Highly recommended.
