Ascii Sector is a free space combat, exploration, and trading game developed by Laserbrain Studios. Available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, it invites players to begin with a simple spaceship and build their fortunes across a broad science-fiction universe. Players can accept missions or trade goods to earn money, then use their earnings to upgrade their current ship or purchase another.

The game features combat in space, on planetary surfaces, and aboard spaceships, alongside activities such as navigating, managing inventory, and buying and selling goods. Players can also use the Ascii Sector scripting language to create their own quests or play quests made by others, adding a creative and community-driven dimension to the experience. The official website provides the game for download, along with quests, a wiki, extras, and discussion forums where players can find tips, tricks, and development updates.

The site identifies version 0. 7. 2, released on January 22, 2016, and credits the game’s development to a single developer
