Welcome to Bitfighter!
Bitfighter is a free multi-player 2-D space combat game with Robotron-like controls. It's a team-based strategy game featuring retro vector graphics and customizable ships. It's fast, fun, and frenetic.
Bitfighter is designed for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and was based on the Zap! demo released by GarageGames as part of their OpenTNL network library.
