From the back of the box
In 1998, Independence War became the benchmark for space simulations.
In 1999, Independence War Deluxe Edition blasts through once again.
Independence War Deluxe Edition combines the original Independence War with an all new Indie campaign called Defiance. With the addition of Defiance, you can now battle from either side - fight as an Indie commander or as a young Navy officer in the original Independence War.
Independence War Deluxe Edition is the most comprehensive space sim today. Incorporating feedback from owners of Independence War, Defiance now includes: in-mission save points, wingman commands, new weapons, and alternate weapons loadouts.
