A quadrilogy of shooter games developed by Arcade Town. Some of the few original games to come out of the site, and most likely the best. The games are, in order-
* Antaris Realspace
* Apocalypse Outpost (Chronologically the first in the series, taking place before Antaris)
* Realspace 2: [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Emperor's Revenge]]
* Realspace 3: Apocalypse Returns ([[Shareware]])
Line 12:
With the United Fleet hanging on by a thread, a resupply mission was needed to fortify the forces on the front lines. But due to the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Katuri Juggernaut Carrier]] blocking the route to the 5th fleet (The main offensive force of the United Fleet), no one could reach it. After many failed attempts, one final group, led by [[The Hero|a gunner named Antaris]], managed to smash the Katuri blockade and reach the 5th fleet. With the newly reinforced United Fleet combined with the power of Apocalypse, Humanity managed to turn a desperate situation into victory.
The United Fleet managed to regroup and struck back against the Katuri Empire, barreling through the heart of the empire. With the blood of their comrades now spilled, [[
With humanity all but destroyed, Antaris [[One
The first three games were spread around the internet in the early 2000s, but faded into obscurity until 2007 with the release of the [[Shareware]] Realspace 3. The series briefly enjoyed a surge in popularity, before quietly fading into obscurity, where it looks like they'll stay. The series has a small but loyal fanbase and speedrun community, as well as a few [[Let's Play|Lets Plays]].
----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Aliens Are Bastards]]: Humanity certainly seems to think so.
* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]], Vengeance is the only Katuri who can speak English.
* [[All Up to You]]: It's up to Antaris to save humanity. Likewise, in the second game, [[Not So Different|It's up to Vengeance to save the Katuri.]]
* [[Anti
* [[Arbitrary Maximum Range]]
* [[Apocalypse How]]: Humanity caused at least a class 1 on Sirius Prime, and the Katuri {{spoiler|cause a class X}}.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Antaris and Vengeance.
* [[Art Evolution]]: [[Justified]] with the [[Development Hell|length of time between the release of the second and third games]], but still- compare [https://web.archive.org/web/20160307172950/http://www.allgamesfree.com/gameshots/online/screenshots/271-1.jpg this] and [http://static1.freeaddictinggames.com/thumbs/123.jpg this]{{Dead link}} to [http://www.jaggedbladegames.com/realspace3shootinggame/screen4big.jpg this.]
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: In the second game, Vengeance is just a normal fighter pilot, with only a basic ship and weaponry. In the third game, after he's become more or less the leader of the entire Katuri army, his ship gets an upgrade and his weapon loadout becomes brutal. Also an example of [[Asskicking Equals Authority]].
* [[Badass Boast]]/ [[Boss Banter]]: Most of Vengeance's lines in the third game.
Line 53:
* [[Gray and Gray Morality]]: The war was started when humanity invaded the Katuri worlds in an effort to expand their empire through conquest. The Katuri want to destroy every last human in response.
** This can almost be viewed as [[Black and Black Morality]].
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: The Katuri suicide bombers who saved Sirius Prime.
* [[Humans Are
* [[ISO Standard Human Spaceship]]: For the United Fleet.
* [[Late to
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]: Vengeance is FAST, and has the firepower to back it up.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: One of Antaris' secondary weapons is this.
Line 62:
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: The Heavy Torpedo secondary weapon in the third game. It's the slowest projectile in the game, but has a bigger punch than the ''beam lasers.''
** Any ship bigger than a heavy bomber also qualifies as this.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?|My God, What have we done!?]]: As the Katuri charge through the human empire and head towards Earth, this is more or less humanity's reaction, since they only have themselves to blame for incurring the Katuri's wrath.
* [[Not So Different]]: Both Antaris and Vengeance were normal fighter pilots who ended up saving their respective races. {{spoiler|Antaris does it twice, though.}}
** Both are also seen as the strongest attribute in their armies. Both pilot smaller-than-average, yet unique ships. And both are dedicated to destroying the opposite race.
* [[One
* [[Planet Terra]]: The Katuri call the humans Terrans in the second game, though they never refer to Earth as Terra.
* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: The Katuri are implied to be this.
* {{spoiler|[[Pyrrhic Victory]]: For humanity.}}
* [[Recycled Script]]: The plot to the third game is essentially the same as the second, only with the sides flipped.
Line 73:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Both sides have at least one.
* [[Sapient Ship]]: Though never directly shown, Katuri flagships have an enormous brain in them, with several wires and tubes attached. It's unknown if those brains are actually the flagships' minds or if they're simply for show.
* {{spoiler|[[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: At the end of Realspace 3, Antaris quits the United Fleet after finding himself lost in a nebula.}}
* [[Space Is an Ocean]]
* [[Space Is Noisy]]
Line 86:
* [[The Federation]]: The United Fleet seems to see itself as this, but [[Subverted Trope|they're most definetly not.]]
* [[The Ghost]]: The Katuri Emperor.
* [[Took a Level
* [[War Is Hell]]
* [[Wave Motion Gun]]: Beam Lasers in the third game.
* [[We Will Meet Again]]: The result every time Vengeance fights Antaris {{spoiler|except the last one.}}
* [[What Measure Is a Non
