Ascii Sector
Ascii Sector (2012, Laserbrain Studios) is a space simulator that proves you don’t need fancy graphics to feel like a galactic overlord. Navigate your spaceship through ASCII-rendered stars, battle pirates, and trade goods while pretending those letter-shaped ships are menacing alien forces. The retro aesthetic is charming and oddly satisfying, making you appreciate that even letters and symbols can host epic interstellar adventures. It’s strategy, survival, and a bit of nostalgia all rolled into one quirky package.

“You start with a simple spaceship and can then accept missions or trade goods to earn enough money to upgrade your ship or buy a new one. You can engage in deadly fights both in space, on the ground and on board spaceships.” - Laserbrain Studios
Ascii Sector key features:
- trade goods to earn money and buy upgrades for your ship
