It seems Freespace has a father.

Look at the date.   You be the judge.

lol, but what is it? no pics, no nothin, just a name, a cheat, a download, and nothing else.

[ShadowGorrath]

YOU !

Why don't you ever get online anymore ?! 

And , why do you think that MadSpace is somehow connected to FreeSpace ?

Probably because the title ends in Space.  But if FreeSpace's father was MadSpace, I hope that FS didn't get beaten as a child because his father was so angry. And the new question may, in fact, be "Who is FreeSpace's mother?"

[Dark Hunter]

Just based on the date, I'd say it's more likely that "Madspace" was some variation of SpaceWar...

The name Madspace comes about since the laws of physics are often defied in this program

[Snail]

Looks like a rip-off of Wolf3d (there are like a hundred).

[Mobius]

FreeSpace's father? Colony Wars.

[Snail]

Colony Wars' father? Space Invaders.

[Mobius]

Not really, Space Invaders is the classic "OMG save Earth from the aliens!" game while Colony Wars started as the rebellion of oppressed humans against Earth itself.

Colony Wars' father is the American Independence

Because it's obviously the precursor of ALL PC games.

Game: Madspace (PC)
Release Date: Dec 31, 1969

Like they actually had PC's in 1969....
The size of a small house..


(something with that date is wrong)

Game: Madspace (PC)

Was it a weapon from the Cold War or something?

More like FS's GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT father..

[Snail]

That'd be "FS's GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT, GREAT GRAND father," or else it just means that FS's dad is a really great kinda guy.

[Vasudan Commander]

Heh i played this once.Pretty interesting

Looks like a rip-off of Wolf3d (there are like a hundred).

This wasn't a ripoff of Wolf3d; Wolf3d was a rip-off of THIS !
 

but in all seriousness  think they probably got the date wrong. There's just no way that pc games being released back then (if they even were) would look like that O_o

[castor]

Heh, yeah. Even 15 years later a game with top-notch graphics looked like this (in the original 320x200 resolution).

[Kosh]

Mmmmmmmm, pixelage

[TrashMan]

Pfft...nitpicks.

Either way, old as hell would be the proper terms for it...
