Asteroids almost has real physics, but you still slow down after a bit.

As a self-confessed Elite II zealothis physics model was pretty solid, you slow down under the action of gravity or thrusters and nothing else. You can also entertain yourself slingshotting around the Sun but if you try you're most likely to burn up instead. You can break lightspeed though. Silly Braben.

I found Elite II to be pretty awful.A classic example of a CPU biting off more than it can chew.

:( I love it, more than any other game other than the amazingly CPU-killing GP2Cramming that game into about a megabye was a fantastic achievement too, though it's true you needed a DX2/66 if you wanted to get the game running smoothly. And it demanded 610k of free memory.
