This is the greatest game I have ever played, I must have been 17 when I played this (now 37). Such an awsome game and loved the atmosphere it evoked. Love the way you start taking the fight to the Sirians only then to meet the Bezerker. Come on my Williams lets have a sequel using modern tech. FOE all the way.......
I absolutely LOVED this game. Totally, wildly, amazingly underrated and underexposed. Miles better than any other space combat sim game. Scary, tense, and real. Loved the fact that some of your missions ended with no contact...you never knew for sure when you would encounter the enemy. And I loved The Berzerker! FOE forever!
Loved this game too on my Amiga, finished it.
I remember the mission with the berzeker that you had to get to a black hole (very star trek related^^)
Glyn Williams did 2 unofficials sequels : I-War 1 & 2.
With the X-Wing series, I-War 1 & 2 were the best space sim.
Of course, today, with gamelplay that are more more casual, we won't ever see games like this.

Check I-War and its sequel, Independence War II: Edge of Chaos.

Stunning game, stunning intro. I passed this almost 20 years ago, I think I should do it again with an emulator.

Let me know how you get on. Would also love to play it again.

Great game but the music does seem to be rather broken on the video.

Broken how?

At about 19s and 33s we get repeats that weren't in the original Amiga version.
Did you grab this using emulation? Cause the sound isn't exactly the same way it was when I played it back on the A500.
Still a kick-arse tune though.
