How did you learn of Transcendence?

[bitesh]

First of all, I'm new, so hi everybody!

I searched something along the lines of "games like starflight". This directed me to a number of forums and in one of them there was a post recommending it, which I found to be pretty accurate except in one crucial point: no planetary interaction. But still, a pretty neat game overall, which I plan on spending a lot of time with.

It's been so many years... I think I found T around the time 1.00 came out. I typed in something along the lines of "space combat trading sim game" and that's all I can remember. I might have found it on something like IGN or perhaps an Indie Gaming Mag. Perhaps it was on some obscure forums somewhere, or perhaps I stumbled upon it while looking through the pages of Google entries. I'm not sure.

I found the game through googling something something space game, after yearning more gameplay like Starcom.

Starcom I found after playing through Starfighter: Disputed Galaxy (which doesn't exist any more).

 A friend of mine (who tends to throw all kinds of weird stuff my way) pointed me at the game about a year or so ago.

[Transcendi]

I thought I recalled finding it via a Jayisgames review, but after looking I can find no such thing...

TVTropes.

Same.

[Neuromancer]

I was looking for something Escape Velocity like. I searched around for a while and found NAEV and Transcendence. A few others that I can't remember anymore as well, none that were all that memorable obviously.

Ditto almost to the letter on how Neuromancer found it!

Myself as well. Someone with good writing skills ought to update the page over there. It's a fairly popular wiki and could be an excellent way to bring in more players.

 Not how I found the game, but definitely a big part of why I got hooked on it. Mm, Override… good times…

I believe that I first learned about this game though a CD of freeware games that came with an issue MaximumPC. If I remember correctly, that was version 0.98b? It was already fairly old by that time though, so I checked for the game's website and downloaded 0.99c after, which is the version I've had the most experience with (though to this day I admit I've never actually beaten the game).

Figured this might be interesting info.
Believe it or not, there was a time when people mostly found out about Transcendence from CD-ROMs stuck inside a printed magazine.

Haha, that one is me.

I might take a look at it some time.

Googled "free games" and got this site:

Thought the wolfen gunship used as cover art looked pretty cool so I checked it out. One of the best finds ever!
