PC games like star fox 64?

For some reason I have an overwhelming urge to play a 3D space shoot em up game. The best example that comes to mind is star fox 64. I played some of the sequels to it, but they were kind of lame. Also, I saw an opensource starfox project that looked awesome, but it's not out. So what are some games like this? Free games would be awesome, but I'd also be willing to pay a little bit on Steam or something.

Freelancer should be right up your alley. As I recall, there's a pretty active mod community for it too, should you want to fly a TIE fighter or something.

That game does look pretty interesting. Would you consider it to be a fast paced game, or more of a strategy-oriented type of thing?

It's relatively fast paced, you can look up youtube vids to see what the combat is like.

Hmmm I guess, I was hoping there'd be a digital offering somewhere.

That looks positively badass. On steam, do you have to have multiple copies of games in order to give them away? Cause I would definitely trade you, but I only have one copy of each of my games.

I got the 4 pack for my friends. I only used three copy on my mates. You got anything to trade? Doesn't have to be a game off steam.
