Battlecruiser 3000AD is a space trading and combat simulator video game developed by 3000 AD. It was designed by 3000 AD president and lead developer Derek Smart as the studio's first project.
Announced in 1992, the game underwent a lengthy and troubled development history. It was first released against Smart's wishes in 1996 by publisher Take-Two Interactive for MS-DOS and Windows and negatively received for its incomplete nature. A patched version was later released for Windows by publisher Interplay Entertainment in 1998. It was released in 2021 on Steam as a compilation pack titled "Battlecruiser Generations", which included both versions of 3000AD and its sequel Millennium. Smart designed and self-published a sequel entitled Millennium, which was released in 2001, and an updated version was released by publisher DreamCatcher Interactive in 2003.
