Best overrated game I still own, nothing beats the original 1999 copy. Modern age sucks they screwed up everything that was good about it.

I recommend tracking down the original version over buying the Gearbox remaster. While they've included the original releases in the remaster, they've somehow introduced bugs and graphical issues that I wasn't able to get rid of.
Alternatively, the remasters aren't a bad way of playing these games but they also changed the way they play and it's not the original experience.
The original games will run on modern windows and in HD resolutions with some simple registry tweaks (check PCgamingwiki) if you want to get the original homeworld experience.

BIG Thanks for this one - I foubnd this site earlier while looking for Star Command, and remembered this gem!
I just downloaded it from here and got it to run on a very old laptop, running Linux Ubuntu, using Wine as an emulator for Windows and it ran very smoothly, no problems at all. Dosbox wouldn't run this one, I think it was released a bit later than the older dos games though.
MANY thanks, that's 2 classics from my younger days in one day, both from this site. I look forward to seeing whatelse I can find. Nice One :)
I used the regular download link from this page

It was all that I hoped it to be and more. A comprehensive tutorial that teaches everything you'll need to know, great graphics considering the age, beautiful music, intense and fun gameplay, and a great story to boot!

This is a fantastic game that any Space Combat lover should try. There can be a few issues at the beginning to get the game running correctly on your system but an easy registry fix via the 'regedit' command will sort that out. For Windows gamers I recommend downloading the patch and updating to fix the few bugs that are present in this version. You should see v1.05 when patched on the menu screen. For Mac gamers I recommend using CrossOver and creating a simple Windows XP bottle, it works flawlessly.

I was (and, admittedly, still am) bad at this game because I always invested in so many scouts only to have the enemy come up with a FRIGATE OUT OF HYPERSPACE and nearly kill all my scouts (sometimes between 20 and 40) in just a couple of minutes.
I'm just bad at games.

This was the BEST space combat game ever...hard to believe its so old and still kicks butt...used to be untold mods for it- you could turn it into a StarWars or star trek fleet...even Baybalon 5 ships and real world physics mods.
