Compared to other games in the "Elite" genre, both the graphics quality and gameplay experience of Zex are decidedly inferior. Please take several good long looks at OOLite (free), the Escape Velocity series, etc.

Play Zex for a couple of hours and you'll be fleeing overwhelming odds, trying to balance the requirment to get away with not running out of fuel, hoping against hope that the nearest friendly space station isn't docking something when you get there, and generally kicking ass (and almost certainly getting your ass kicked).
I can't claim to have tried every game in the 'elite' genre, but I did give EV Nova a shot. Zex graphics are lower resolution and simpler (does that mean worse? Zex's retro explosions are cool), and the gameplay is very different. I played EV Nova for a coule of hours, during which I visited a few planets, saw some planet graphics, tried to get used to how sloooow it played compare to Zex...
Other games may have deeper plots, more logical back stories and more planetside options, but if you just want to blow up the bad guys (and who doesn't?), Zex is well worth a look.
