What is Hardwar?
Hardwar is a futuristic combat flight simulator. It is set in ‘Misplaced Optimism’, a series of craters on a neglected corporate mining moon, Titan. Players fly moths, which are tiny craft capable of flying at low altitude. The game features a complete economy, and can be played as a trading game. The combination of flight combat, trade and a futuristic setting led many players to draw similarities with the Elite series of games. Hardwar is sometimes written Hardw[a]r – this reflects the design of the name on the game box.
