I remember playing a freeware game years ago where you were one of the last survivors of your race and you just wondered space. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. But I remember it was full 3d (you could walk around your spaceship and whole planets) and the whole file for the game was about 1 or 2 megabytes.
Damn, I want to play it now. I would always get stuck when my spaceship would run out of fuel :lol:

If I only I could remember what it was called! I think I played it about 8 or 9 years ago now.

Outerra- Anteworld

I want to bring your attention to this demo of a game that demonstrates some of the amazing possibilities for procedurally generated worlds. It's called Anteworld and is made by a company called Outerra. They have created an engine that will create an entire beautiful world for you to explore with procedural generation techniques.

Check out some of my screenshots here
