My favorite was Ares. https://github.com/arescentral/antares
A unique combination of strategy and action.
Played a lot of Escape Velocity too. Those games were special.

This game actually helped kickstart my foray into digital music recording, because I loved the music from Ares and wanted to extract the music files from the game so I could listen to them. Turned out the songs were stored as "MADH" resources and I saved them out to individual files -- and it turns out these MADH files were a "tracker music" format created by and playable with the software "PlayerPRO". Thus all the first songs I ever created on the computer sounded a lot like Ares' music because I ripped all my samples from the game's songs! hahah :) Wasn't long before I realized I can use any audio file though, and recorded all kinds of stuff to create new sounds with.
Either way, I forever can credit Nathan Lamont and Ares for being the reason I discovered the world of computer-made music. (yes, I still remember his name today lol)
