I have restarted the Trivia thread here, I suggest we stop the previous at exactly 200 posts. It looks nice a thread closed and stopped at exactly 200 posts. :yes:

The first man enters this thread has the right to put up a question.

Oh! I am the first!

Question? :D

What do you mean home computer?

It could be Ace I to on Commodore 64.
"I was going to become a speed dealer. If one stupid fairytale turns out to be total nonsense, what does the young man do? If you answered, “Wake up and face reality,” you don’t remember what it was like being a young man. You just go to the next entry in the catalogue of lies you can use to destroy your life." - John Dolan

Aldo, you do know what "first-person" means, right?

Anyway, here's a hint-- This game directly inspired my handle.

Hey! This is not a question about FreeSpace! :ick
If you want to answer a question about FreeSpace, than this one is for you:

What was the callsign of the pilot, who sent a distress call to the GTI Riviera in the intro of FS1?

Next time stay a bit more aware. If you post a topic about closing the trivia topic when there are actually two on the board this sort of thing will happen :D

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Freespace is a real-time first-person space combat game, so yes it is about Freespace.

And the answer is: Star Raiders. Released for the Atari 400/800 home computers in 1979. The enemies are called "Zylons". ;7
