There is a Russian game Space Rangers ¹ I played in the early ’00s, and I quite enjoyed it, was one of my favourite game.

It’s a 2D game with quests and space exploration, battles and some arcade mode in hyper-space. I remember it very well, as it worked very snappy on my poor computer (even by that time standards).

Now as I remembered that game, I wonder if Naev is something similar. I would rather not promote a Russian game these days, and I would rather play open source game. But from user interface perspective Naev looks quite bad when compared to that Rangers game made two decades ago. I judge Naev by its screenshots, so maybe the game looks better.

Despite its bugs Space Rangers was incredible. The diversity of gameplay was great. Fly around space, fight people, solve puzzles and manage ski resorts.


I remembered that I had enjoyed its text based quest in prison (and maybe somewhere else as well, cannot recall that).


Yeah the puzzles were awesome
