Its a space flight sim that involves customizing your space craft, doing all kinds of dog fights.
Did I forget to mention you are voiced by Bruce Campbell?
Check this out
Great game, been planing it since it was released.
Best game ever
One of the first videogames I ever played. All time favorite to this day. Do they ever tell you that you can press f12 for wingman command menu??
I first played this game when it came out, and I enjoyed it this time around every bit as much as the first time. As far as the plot is concerned, this game has two very interesting possible stories to follow - each with their own unique take on a well crafted universe of lore and fun characters. If you've ever seen a Bruce Campbell movie, you'll love this game by default as he voices the main character. The game mechanics and controls are truly ahead of their time. I have yet to play another title that has the same level of scientific realism integrated into their space flight gameplay. Do yourself a favor and play this if you want a fun, space flight combat experience - especially if realistic physics are a draw for you.
Tachyon is such an awesome game from its time. If you are a new buyer just remember that it is a 24 yr old game and requires a little patience with it. But it is really fun for a space game. Plenty of combat, cool mission options that you get to choose, pick sides if you want, and have a cool time running your ship in space. Never got to play multiplayer personally, but obviously that doesn't matter now. An all around fun game that lets you progress through a story and grow yourself back up from scratch.
Many space combat options and abilities I wish were in other games that just don't ever seem to be there. The "slide" ability in this game is amazing cause space would allow for such a thing to happen and so many other games just miss it as an option. One of my favorites.
"Tachyon: The Fringe is a fun, if a bit aggravating, retro space sim that will please fans of the genre. It also has Bruce Campbell."

I expected Tachyon: The Fringe to be a lot more slower, simulator type of game but no its actually a pretty fast paced, action oriented game more then anything else. The game is, obviously, very old but there are some interesting things in it here and there. Mainly the story and the voice acting which is pretty well I did have some weird sounding voice acting but like it wasn't cuz of the acting itself it just sounded as if there was something wrong with the audio you know? Like an audio bug or something which is to be expected from a game this old some setting might just be fucked up and doesn't work well with modern computers who knows. Either way even though the voice acting is good and the story is interesting the gameplay loop is very repetative and boring to the point where it makes me dislike the game.
+Ran without any issues on my system. Others are saying you need a patch for it to run on modern systems but I didn't need one, it just worked. No crashes, no major bugs to speak of.
+The game looks alright, sounds alright. Graphics and sound wise nothing major to compliment and nothing awful to really shit on.
+You get to use a few different ships, there's a few different guns, lasers and missiles etc to choose from, there are other upgrades like an upgrade that can show you how much health and armor your enemy still has, an upgrade that'll show you a targeting reticle on moving targets so you can hit them easier etc.
+The story is pretty interesting and the voice acting is good.
+The controls are alright. Not the easiest I've seen but I've definitely seen harder controls too. Pretty sure you can remap stuff if you need but I didn't, the default was good enough for me.
-Like I said you'll get to see and use a few different ships which is all cool. Sadly I wouldn't say that they "feel" any different from each other. Not by a huge margin at least. Even though the cockpit of the vehicles changes it isn't a huge change and most of the time you'll be occupied with the HUD to really notice the different cockpit. The changes in the HUD from ship to ship can be a bit bigger and nicer and you'll never really feel lost with a new ship cuz the HUDs all follow the same logic with their layout with very small changes. Aside from the very small, hard to notice visual changes like I said the ships all feel very samey to me so that sucks.
-There were times where the voice acting got weird but rather then the acting itself it was just the voice, the sound that was all messed up. Probably something to do with playing a very old game on a modern system. Didn't take away from the experience that much but I still wanna mention it.
-The gameplay loop is very repetative and boring. Take a job, choose a ship from the ones you have, modify it a lil before starting if you want, watch a short cutscene, press A to fast travel, watch a short cutscene, press A to fast travel, watch a short cutscene repeat until you get to your objective. When you do get to your objective do the job you took. Maybe you're fighting some enemy ships and the fighting is really boring I wouldn't call the AI great or even good. After its done press A again and watch cutscenes until you get to the station then take another job and repeat.
Its not the worst game out there but the gameplay just isn't there. I feel like I'm watching a lot of cutscenes just to partake in some mediocre space battles then watching more cutscenes. Considering the age of the game its a pretty easy download right like its not even 1GB in size, it would run on a potato PC too and it ran on my modern system with no issues without even needing a patch. I bought this on my older computer which was a very potato computer but never played it and now with my more modern, new computer I can just focus on more modern games so old games like these don't hold the same meaning to me as they did when I was still on my old, potato PC. Most other people out there have computers better then mine so I doubt they'll even take a look at this game when they see its age and the graphics. In my old PC I probably would have given this a thumbs up because my choice in games was a lot more limited but now with my new one I don't need to do that, I can just play more modern space games and I think the same logic applies to a lot of others too. Not the worst game out there but the gameplay isn't there and with more modern, better alternatives there isn't really a need to try this one unless your PC sucks and you can't play newer games.
I played SO much of this game as a teenager, crazy good campaign and phenomenal multiplayer. If anyone out there remembers the 2000-2002 era of Tachyon clans I was in Phoenician Republic and later New Dawn. I still remember clans like Iconian Knights. Multiplayer is dead now obviously but imo Tachyon is still worth playing even now, the graphics hold up alright and the mechanics are still excellent., especially the "slide" function".
I am so happy I could find this gem. The first video game I played when I was a teenager.
