Hardwar... that the old game with the solar-powered flying machines? If it's that one, apparently the rights were given to some community somewhere to distribute for free, they have a few mirrors up on their forums I think.

Hammerfight, if you're testing the sensivity

Yes, a thousand times, yes for Hammerflight. (With the L. Remove the L and it just sounds silly to me.)

An online multiplayer version of that would be so lovely...

Well, half-life 1 just went on sale for 5$ in the summer sale, so I'm going to get that. Thanks for the advice everyone! I will check some of those out!

A multiplayer Hammerfight or something similar would be pretty cool. More physics-based multiplayer games please!

Yep, that's the one. I recently began thinking about it again and realized some of the nice design pieces. For example, your ship is solar-powered

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

until you get fusion power

and the atmosphere and distance from the Sun prevent free recharging, so they have these "light wells" that you can hover near to recharge. These ships are called "moths". Moths flitter around pretty lights in the fog. It's poetic.

Unfortunately, the game is set on Titan, home of enormous amounts of hydrocarbons, far from the Sun, sheathed in a dense atmosphere. Why set up a weird inefficient solar power grid when you should just be making jet fuel? My only good reasoning (not found in the game) is that the people in charge want to be able to control ship traffic so they made it so they can turn off the supply of power at any time.

I just like the game. Make narcotics in your hangar, hustle them over to a port and send anyone who bothers you plummeting into a lake of goo with a Groundbase Missile.

ProgressQuest is obviously the correct answer here.
