It has a good storyline and decisions u make in the game decide the road in which you go. You play jake logan a starpilot that is accused of killing some... Read full review »

Tachyon: Faster than light or a setback?

byFirestorm66 Aug 30, 2000
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros excellent presentation and gameplay, multiplayer, storyline
Cons somewhat odd graphics very close up, multiplayer tends to lag up on slow modems
Recommended it? Yes

I seem to be writing reviews on games a lot nowadays, and one of them happens to be Tachyon: the Fringe. The creators of Delta Force who revolutionized on-line gameplay in FPS games bring to us the universe hundreds of years in the future. You star as a star pilot known as Logan, and in solo mode...

Tachyon, The Fringe
Cool, Evil Dead in Deep Space

Let me start this review by dating myself, I still think Origin's Privateer was the most entertaining space sim I have ever played. I had to play on the computer down the hall in my dorm because my junky Epson couldn't handle it. I... Read full review »

One of the best games out

Pros Great Graphics, Good Gameplay, Good Multiplayer
Cons The AI is too easy except on hard mode.
Recommended it? Yes

Tachyon: The Fringe is a game that was worth every cent. I had never before played anything quite like it. You start off as a contract space pilot, taking the jobs that you want and doing them. You start off working for a company in the system with Earth in it (the Sol system), but then you get... Read full review »

Bring on the multiplay!

8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Graphics, sound, engaging storyline, addictive multiplay
Cons poor documentation
Recommended it? Yes

This game offers a lot of great features, although some aren't really implemented correctly.

First off, the solo game has an engaging storyline and offers a number of paths for you to choose with varied missions that you can accept. The option to purchase ships and outfit them as you'd... Read full review »

Tachyon Misses the Fringe, but still flies true

Pros Great voice work and a top notch flight model
Cons average graphics, Banzi AI, confusing keyboard setup
Recommended it? Yes

Tachyon The Fringe is the latest space combat sim from Novalogic(Delta Force, F22 Lightning). While not the most advanced game in the world, Tachyon is a competent addition to the genre that sprouted Wing Commander and Freespace.

You start the game as Jake Logan (voiced by cult film... Read full review »

Tachyon by Novalogic

bybenf802961 May 19, 2000
1 Helpfuls 2 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros good graphics, pretty fun
Cons poor instructions
Recommended it? Yes

I bought this game because Nova Logic has great multiplayer area like Delta Force and Delta Force 2. Tachyon has great graphics and is fun flying a space ship. Arena Matches are great for death matches. (Kill or be killed.)
Base Wars was a little harder to play and understand. I did not seen... Read full review »

byRomka125 May 17, 2000
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Great action+graphics
Cons unless you like space sims -don't try it
Recommended it? Yes

General/Summary: A great space sim! Outstanding graphics - especially the star bases and planets (which include all the ones in OUR solar system), also explosions, ships, etc. The game gets addictive very fast. The missions are fun and you can also "explore" the solar system or other star systems... Read full review »

Pros Bruce Campbell's voiceovers for the main character, sound effects and visuals
Cons Gameplay, story, funfactor.
Recommended it? No

Sometimes a game company puts together a real prize. Sometimes a game company puts out a pre-beta of a real prize. You can probably guess that Tachyon: The Fringe falls in the latter category.
You play Jake Logan, an independent pilot (Read: Mercenary) who does odd jobs for different... Read full review »
