Cult classic. Very dated graphics. Unfortunately doesn't run as well as it should with modern hardware because it's an old game. Still, incredibly fun and kept alive by the insane modding community. Highly worth it. Don't play the sequel.

Imagine a game just like Kerbal Space Program 2, except finished! Good with or without mods. I mod the heck out of everything, and yet this is probably the only game I play vanilla.

better than KSP2 by a long shot. Unbelievably moddable. May require a NASA PC if you add too many parts. Kill little green frogs in a multitude of ways. Commit genocide under the cover of a space program. 10/10 would recommend
