"Space MERCENARY #9" Bob Plays Privateer Gemini Gold
1The trick to being a space mercenary is, winning the battle is only the first part. You also have to MAKE more than you SPEND on repairs. Sure it is satisfying to win a 1 v 8 against pirate retros. But you aren't doing it for the satisfaction of sending losers to the great beyond. You need a profit.
*********
Wing Commander Privateer was released in 1993, part of the Wing Commander series but with a twist: it was an open world where you could trade goods, fight as a mercenary, or even turn to the dark side and smuggle drugs or slaves. It was one of the great games of all time, with an infamously steep learning curve. It also runs on DOS.
Privateer Gemini Gold is an open-source remake of Privateer for modern computers. It is not perfectly reproduced (particularly irksome is the inability to put weapons or more importantly tractor beams on turrets or to sell missile launchers) but it's pretty good.
