I found my old DS disk and whats left of the jewel case.
Anyone else remember the disk? Found mine on the $10 rack while on vacation back in 03. It sat on the shelf forgotten for a while before I re-found it and decided to play. Been here ever since.
It reads
Darkspace takes place in a universe splintered by intergalactic war. Humanity has split into two factions, while a new and fearsome alien race advances into human space. In the midst of this turmoil and civil unrest, you begin your mission as an Ensign, piloting smaller craft and eventually advancing to Fleet Admiral, where you take control of a massive capital ship and pilot strategic maneuvers in one of the three factions.
The Darkspace universe is alive with many new, different, and exciting subplots. While humans are the dominant species of each beginning scenario, more advanced scenarios feature diverse alien races and advanced technologies. In the thriving galaxy of the massively multiplayer action strategy game, players focus on there own agendas and you mush wisely deal with the circumstances this creates.
Game Features
Play online with thousands of other players, each like you, controlling there own star ships in the massive MetaVerse, or play on a scenario server against hundreds of other players.
Team based game play means you are never alone or without help, all players in your faction are your allies
3D accelerated graphics using Palestar's proprietary MEDUSA engine keep the action exciting and alive.
Subscribe to and participate in a massively multiplayer world, shattering campaigns and receiving dynamic content updates of new ship types, races, technology , and strategies that make the game re-playable virtually indefinably.
Boy I wish the game was still like that.

Got mine on a shelf next to a few other games and dvds and such. I really only keep it because I'm one of the people chatting in the screenshots on the back of the box..

I bought the game disc from a gamestop sometime around 2002 or so. It was before I turned 18 (in 2003) so I guess 2002 or so might be right.
I installed and tried playing it, but my computer and my dialup were not up to the challenge. It lagged really bad. I got in a few small skirmishes in my scout ships and frigates but I do not think I ever killed anyone.
I saw a dread cloud bomb a planet. That was really cool. Unfortunately since my computer couldnt take it, I let it pass, but always remembered this amazing game that I knew I would come back to when i could.
A couple years later (2004 or so. Check my profile to see when), I got a new computer and was welcomed to the world of cable internet. I jumped back in to DS with the excitement 2 years of waiting provides.
It was an amazing journey. I know I have never played any game for so long and still loved it. I stand by my belief that playing DS is more of a dance than a battle. Timing of turns, timing of weapons fire. circling your targets and moving fluently with your allies. There is a rhythm there that everyone in the battle feels. The actions of the man on the far left of a large fight have a ripple-effect that influence the man on the far right.
I love this game. Wish I still had the disc I bought way back when.

I saw one in a game stop quite a few years back. Never bought it since I downloaded DS from the web. Started in 2002 and have never looked back =)

I brought my way back in gamestop for $20, I think it was around 2002. Still have the box, but the disk is somewhere over at my grandparents house. I remember when I was first playing I ran into a battle that was going on, it was alot of small icc ships against a UGTO cruiser and to me at the time the cruiser looked like the size of today's dreads. Soon After I lost interest ( I got MechAssault 1, ah very good game, sad I had to sell it :'(
