Reminds me of axis arena. Accept not in first person mode. Look for axis arena if you want something cool as well.

Dude this game came out in '99, probably before people were modding FS2 and making their own ships.

What the worlds needs is an OFFICIAL Babylon 5 simulator like Sierra was SUPPOSED to make... :doubt:

The question is more "Did StratComm steal the GTDn Archangel from that game?"

That is exactly what i was thinking. I think we need a official investigation.

It's not that they forgot to release it, it's that they never FINISHED it...the game abruptly died and there was never a pre-release demo for it.

Is the pilot from the intro the same guy who did the voice for Spike in Cowboy Bebop? (Or at least the guy who's dubbing the pilot in the intro).


That mech reminds me a lot of PATLABOR for some reason.
