Trivia:
Six of the eight main planets in the Tri-System; Anhur, Crius, Hades, Hermes, Hephaestus and Janus IV, are named after mythological Gods from the Greek, Roman and Egyptian eras. Karatikus is named after Caratacus, the leader of a British tribe who resisted the Roman invasion. The planet Bex, which produces Bex Beer, may possibly have been named after Beck's, the German beer brand.See more »

Very good space flight/action thriller for PC, 23 June 2002
Author: CitrusBlast from Michigan, U.S.A.

Even though the game is 6 years old, it's gameplay is on par with (or even above) some more recent space games. As Lev Arris, you awake in a hospital, with amnesia, and you must pilot your way around a Tri-system of planets, space stations, pirates, babes and bozos in search of anything that will lead you to a clue about your past. The game is native to DOS, however, there is a Deluxe version native to Windows, though I would gladly give up the availability of Windows XP for good ol'fasioned Win98 to play Privateer 2. All in all, I give this game a 9.5 out of 10, but since I can't choose.5's, I'll just give a good hardy 10/10.
