You might have missed Strange Adventures in Infinite Space, which came out four years ago. It was a cross between a casual game and an epic space strategy game. You piloted a ship around a randomly generated universe, explored worlds, contacted aliens, mixed it up with lasers and plasma torpedoes and whatnot, and then came home to see how many points you'd scored. And the idea was that you could do it all in fifteen minutes. Leave the sixty-hour galactic epics to the other games.

Well, if you missed Strange Adventures, I have some bad news and some good news. The bad news is that you can no longer buy it. The good news is that it's now free. Get it here from publisher Shrapnel Games or here from developer Digital Eel. Of course, these guys have an ulterior motive for giving you this game for free. They're hoping you'll be interested in the sequel, Weird Worlds: Return to Infinite Space.
