Publisher's description of Dark Orbit
From WildTangent:From the developer: ""It's the year 2150, and you're stuck on Nibiru, the tenth planet of the solar system. As the sole survivor of a shattered mining colony, you must defend yourself from the onslaught of aliens awakening from beneath the barren world's crust. Using the precious few resources still available, you can build more advanced firepower into your mining craft to turn it into an awesome fighting machine. 5 detailed levels to explore with multiple enemies and terrain, many puzzles to solve and quests to conquer, modular and upgradeable ships.""

Version: Dark Orbit 1.0
Pros: Late 90's Graphics are so so
Cons: Not even paying for it is worth it. Way to expensive to buy supplies (With real money)! Or get stuck with some little rat box that is only a target for large ships (people who paid through the nose for Uridium)((no life'rs))and never leave the fist quadrant. Or get suckered in and pay for a Behemoth 75USD + "If you want extras or you will end up with a lumbering hull with no fire power".

Version: Dark Orbit 1.0
Pros: The graphics are tremendous.
Cons: I don't like leading my craft around by the nose. I don't like having to use the keyboard and the control keys are in an awkward position. I like a total mouse control. I also don't like my computer being "hijacked and controlled" by the promoter - author - distributor of the game. As a matter of fact, I had forgotten about that aspect, and did not download it completely this time. It is a shame that the game is conditioned with all that protional crap. I enjoyed the game some years back when I didn't know any better. I am still finding traces of that game channel.

Version: Dark Orbit 1.0
Pros: I have owned and played this game before and loved it.
Cons: The download went smoothly except when I tried to play the game. After clicking on PLAY, the screen would say Loading forever. I was really disappointed.
