SpaceEngine is a free 3D astronomy program and game engine developed by Russian astronomer and programmer Vladimir Romanyuk. Using real astronomical catalogs and procedural generation, it creates a three dimensional planetarium representing the entire universe. Users can travel through space in any direction or speed, and forwards or backwards in time. It uses pseudo-random numbers to procedurally create any kind of planetary system, nebula or galaxy.

Fun space facts: Growing up in the middle east and in school, we pronounced Uranus as "Oranos" and I spent my whole life saying it that way, until realizing when I was about 15 or so that it's pronounced "Your anus."
With that fun space fact in mind, this is a great space simulator. Absolutely massive and beautiful, big recommend.

Not really a game, but a must-have for anyone even tangentially interested in astronomy.
No other program scales the universe properly. Nothing else will give you an accurate depiction of the vast majority of the world. Nothing else works better as a wallpaper camera.
