Ever wanted to fly around in a Colonial Viper and blow up Cylons? Now you can do it.

 

Battlestar Galactica: Beyond the Red Line is a total conversion of the legendary PC space shooter sim Freespace 2. The full game, which is still some months away, will not require Freespace 2 to run, and neither does the demo.

 

The game has been in production now for roughly two years and has attracted a large amount of publicity. PC Gamer has been following development of the game for some time now.

 

The PC Demo is now available for download. This link should lead you to the BTRL announcement where there are details on how to download the deno. The demo does not require a modern, ultra-powerful PC to run (a 1Ghz machine should be able to run it with the details turned down) and it doesn't even need a joystick, though one is recommended.

 

The demo consists of three single-player missions and a multiplayer game element as well.

Awesome... will it be coming to consoles?
