!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

A very simple space sim that was just sitting in a folder that was either part of windows or one of my installed games, presumably an Easter egg for those just perusing the files. Maybe late nineties?
Like, the simplest starfield and cockpit and you just used the mouse to shoot lasers at stuff.
All of the sound files (only maybe a dozen sound effects at most) were in .wav format so I used the crappy mic I had at the time and recorded new sounds just with my mouth. Had a blast playing my "modded" version.
Haven't figured out what it was/what "real" software it came with.
Sounds like an old Excel easter egg
