SubSpace is a two-dimensional space shooter computer game published in 1997 by Virgin Interactive Entertainment (VIE). This freeware game incorporates quasi-realistic zero-friction physics into a massively multiplayer online game. The action is viewed from above, which presents challenges very different from those of a three-dimensional game. The game has no built-in story or set of goals; players may enter a variety of servers, each of which have differing objectives, maps, sounds, and graphics.
Although falling short of modern standards, SubSpace is widely considered an early entry in the massively multiplayer online genre due to its unprecedented player counts, as well as lead programmer Jeff Peterson's apparent coining of the term.

it's now called continuum - evolved from subspace - evolved from sniper (back in 1995). some of you may remember the program, it was quite expensive to play, but now it's free thanks to PriitK and JeffP (Priit K being one of the programmers of KaZzA, Skype and Morpheus.
