Hostile Space

Hostile Space is a 2D sci-fi MMORPG originally launched by InterAdventure Inc. in 1997, casting players as starship captains exploring a persistent galaxy, mining resources, taking bounties, smuggling goods, and fighting the alien Brood as well as rival player pirates in twitch-based real-time combat. The original game was later shut down, but a dedicated fan community has kept it running since under the original creator's non-profit blessing, as Hostile Space Revived.
