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.

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.

My favorite game!!

This game blew my mind. i first saw it when i played a demo that was on delta force 2. i loved the demo and immediately tried finding a copy. about a week after i placed my order with novalogic, they mailed me back saying that it was out of print. disappointment set in, so i went over to my local Electronics Boutique and, lo and behold, they had not one, but TWO copies!!! this game is great. the graphics rock my socks...hard. i love just sitting still and watching a planet turn, or watching a larger star devour a smaller one. they did a really great job of making you feel like the world was alive. the storyline is fantastic, i really liked the idea that i could just take whichever jobs i wanted. just a word of advice here- if you side with GalSpan, you'll have access to a great deal of guided missiles and the like, but will be lacking in the area of special weapons, and the guided missiles aren't so strong compared to the bora rockets. the bora have no guided weapons at all, but their dumb fire rockets seem to do more damage, and they also have the two most powerful special weapons in the game, the rail gun- which can destroy any fighter with one hit, and the nova device( i think it's called that...) which basically emits a large-ish explosion from your ship. this game is great fun, the world is so incredibly fun to look at, i could watch it for hours and still be amazed. have fun with it, while you can, because it seems like space sims are going out of style, so good ones like this, the freespace games, and freelancer are going to become harder to find. wish i would have baught that second copy....

It's Great

This is the best game ever there are so many variables to adjust and so many options to change it is great. Not to mention the different; weapons, missions, regions, space sations, i could go on... Overall a good game and good weapons also the difficulty can ber changed any time in the game if you get boartd with the toughness of your apponetts also there is a battle between two rival factions and you get to choose sides and weapons (SUGGEST GALSPAN CORAPORATION GOOD TECH'S) GET THIS GREAT GAME!
JUST LIKE REAL LIFE DECISIONS.

This game has you thinking you're really there, flying and fighting in space. You control your role as the mercenary indepedent star pilot Jake Logan. Awesome weapons upgrades and powerful CPU updates keep you giving the enemy what they have to except. Search asteroid belts for cargo and beam valuable crates aboard your ship. Once you finish the game you'll be eager to play again, it is very addicting. It will keep you busy for quite a while. This just isn't a game, it's an adventure. Who ever designed this game was a total guenius.

huh

Tachyon is one of those games that intrigues from the mini-movie intro. The graphics and colour schemes are so dazzling that you will instantly get an adrenaline rush. This has to be one of the best rendered games I have come across. The gameplay is simple enough to grasp, there is not much of a learning curve here. Sound,despite the odd shrill female voiceover, is very well done. So why do I rate a mere three stars? I have one rule to playing games. I play for fun and not to be aggravated. Unfortunately Tachyon has a few elements that are sure to tick some (certainly me) off. The game is played out on the "Job Board" where you will be hired to complete contracts ranging from deliveries to disabling "Capital Ships". Some of these quests require the player to repeat multiple times before figuring out how to find the proverbial chink in the armour.Try disabling a Battle Cruiser that outguns you 20-1. Good Luck. That (repetition) gets boring real quick. Each time one has to return to base, rearm and take off again, usually passing through multiple gates before reaching the target. That is a whole lot of lost gaming time. The thrill of the chase and intensity of combat (assisted by the A1 graphics) makes up for the lag. But my biggest complaint is that I have encountered difficulties with the docking controls. On a few occasions I have had to spend up to an hour just trying to dock (despite the autodock feature) because the AI wouldn't acknowledge that I was there. Indeed I had to abandon one quest (Rescue the Persephone) because the auto dock didn't work. It's not just a thing that makes you go ,HUh! but is also very annoying. The quests simply lack the depth and sophistication (lasting little more than 10 min. on average) to overcome the deficiencies. Don't get me wrong I still think this is a great game, graphically speaking, but the repetition and bugs really spoil the fun.

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.
