Wondered if any of you had played this game? It's one of the oldest MMO games still running. I believe it was created in 1994, in the basement of the guy who created/helped create Kazaa, and Skype (Priitk).
Anyway, it's an asteroid style shooter, except you play against other ships. There's 8 different kinds and many different zones and settings to play in. I've been playing it for over a decade, and some people since beta '94. It's not often you find a game people play for that long.
It was originally a game by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE) I think, who released it as a paid game, but it died soon after, the game creator put up his own money to keep servers online and let the community take over handling the game.
Anyway, if you wanna check it out, it's free these days and only 7.8mb. Highly addictive. http://www.ssgn.net.
Here's the old VIE SS intro video from way back when

I hope you guys enjoy this game. If you do decide to check it out. I am a System Operator in a zone called "SSCX Chaos/League". I fly under the name "Disturbance". Come in and type "?find Disturbance" to see if I am online, and if I am type "isturbance: Hi, I came here from OCUK." and i'll show you around.
