FreeSpace 2 Gets Reissue As Limited Edition

Posted by simoniker on Friday January 30, 2004 @02:09PM from the formerly-deceased dept.

Rastor writes "The PC space combat sim FreeSpace 2 is being re-released as a special Limited Edition via the Interplay Store! According to Volition Watch: 'There will be 2000 copies available, and only through the Interplay store. They will be numbered copies and will be selling for $49.95.' Why should Slashdotters care? Besides being a highly-rated game when released in 1999, the source has been released and a Linux port is available." VolitionWatch also notes "all the extra add-on campaigns and MODs available... literally hundreds of hours of gameplay time" - a limited-edition re-release is an interesting move in a world where games normally go from full-price to budget to bargain bin, and rarely return.

My original submission did not refer to this game simultaneously as "under-rated" and "highly-rated". That's the wonderful Slashdot editors at work. :)
