Nomad
DOS - 1993
Description of Nomad
One of the most overlooked classics of all time, this is essentially Starflight with a much more developed and interesting plot (although with less sophisticated details and interface): an alien ship that mysteriously crashed into earth suddenly gives mankind the hyperdrive technology.
As captain, you must pilot the craft into unknown worlds to find out its origins. Despite ridiculously simplistic combat, the game has many memorable alien characters and trade goods. It's also very non-linear, and there's plenty of dialogues and sub-plots. Two thumbs up!

Best space game ever.. The way you trade stuff, harvest resources, improve ship, etc... is addictive... its a complete set of everything you want in a game like this..

So good when I gave it a test run to make sure it worked, I forgot to stop playing. Gives modern space games a run for their money.

Yesterday I was playing Elite Dangerous (current version) and Star Citizen (Alpha 3.8.2). Today I played Nomad, and it's somewhat satisfying the way that you can trade with other pilots and how you can send farm bots, gas bots and archaeology bots on planet. Very good game!
