Its fun and the replay value is great! I'm playing it for the 3rd time now. Great ships, nice story line. I wish that you can hire more than one wingman though. I have a Voodoo 3 video card and a SB Live Sound Card and I have no problems running the game.
It's Great

I also played the demo on delta force 2 and was amazed. The day the game was released I bought it and still never gets old. You need to play this game!!!
All in good fun

Sometimes you might get the urge to blow up huge space battleships flying around as a little fighter pilot like in the Star Wars movies. This game maybe a little bit dated by now, but I still enjoy watching the pixelated fireworks. In the game there are ultimately two sides you can choose from. Depending on which side you choose offers different sorts of missions as well as alternate endings to the story. Play and enjoy! Oh and by the way...the main character doesn't like cheaters much.
Great Game

Although there are rooms for expansion, the game is quite impressive with its uniqueness. Unlike most space-simulation games, Tachyon made is ships very dynamic.
Great

In the realm of Wing Commander comes Tachyon. A very good space simulation that has very difficult missions sometimes. The storyline is great because you can control the outcome of the game. The graphics are very good although could have been a little better. Bruce Campbell voices pilot Jake Logan. A very fun game.
If you are an old Descent/Freespace player.....

If you were/are a Freespace Ace, you are going to love Tachyon. The missions are excellent without being impossible, flight dynamics are smooth, the graphics excellent. This is (IMHO) the definitive spaceflight simulator. Superb story line, excellent documentation, and enough surprises to make the game a extremely addictive. A must have for any flight simulator fan. This game just ROCKS!!
awesome game

I've been playing outer space combat sims since the original X-Wing came out in 1993. Tachyon is just as fun and I must say the graphics are WAY better! ;) I'm using a GeForce2 on a PIII 500 with the game's graphics settings maxed out. It runs perfectly. It's an older game but I could never run it cause I didn't have a nice enuf system. It reminds me a lot of Privateer 2 but I think it's better. Definitely check this one out. Can't beat the price and you get MORE than what you pay for this game!!
Great

Good game, however I do have a problem. If you have a Vodoo sound card you might get a whole lot of echo in your speakers.
i give a low rating because i don't liek Simulators much.
