Lightspeed is a classic space exploration and trading game that places players in command of a small starship in a vast, open galaxy. Blending elements of action, simulation, and strategy, the game allows you to travel between star systems, trade goods, complete missions, and engage in real-time space combat. The universe is open-ended, giving players freedom to choose their path as a trader, explorer, or combat-focused pilot.
Encounters with pirates, alien factions, and rival ships keep every journey unpredictable. Resource management plays a key role, as fuel, cargo space, and ship upgrades must be carefully balanced. Despite its simple presentation, Lightspeed offers surprising depth through its dynamic economy and non-linear progression. The game rewards experimentation and planning, making each playthrough feel unique. Ideal for fans of old-school space sims, Lightspeed captures the sense of discovery and risk that defined early PC science-fiction games.
