It looks like a computer game, but the foes are human SubSpace Virgin Interactive Win95, Pentium Free until July 1997 Review by Brooks Peck ubSpace is the souped-up, colorized, high resolution, Internet descendant of one of the original arcade games, Space War. There is also an arsenal of extra weapons such as the Repulsor, which flings enemy ships and shots away, and Thor's Hammer, which shoots right through walls.
Players can also lay mines or bricks, and they can warp instantly across the arena.
The most interesting thing about SubSpace, though, is that it's an Internet-only game. It can't be played solo. Players can practice flying in an empty arena, but the only way to fight an opponent is to get online. When a player logs onto one of the numerous arenas, they are assigned to a team. New entrants arrive weak and need to collect powerups to strengthen their weapons and defenses.
