Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
 

You can get the original game STARS from someone via P2P. I bought my copy. I don't know where you can buy one now.

As for SSNG, what can any one say; It is highly doubtful that it will ever be published. I have posted about this before, and have even posted that they should contact shrapnel on their forums. The answer has always been that Shrapnel is a small company and can not aford to support the developers or development of SSNG.

It's so sad http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Head to the link in my sig to go to my Stars! topic, there's a link in that thread that will go to the demo.

Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
 

stars! website still sells copies. you can either by a copy of the cd adn have it shipped (which includes manual) or download the game and buy a license # (less expensive, but all documentation is digital)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I hope you are wrong. Jeff swore he'd finish it some form and self-publish if he had to, as he did Stars! You guys have to see the 3-D battles to believe them. Awesome just begins to describe the action. Screen snapshots do not begin to do justice to them.

3-D is irrelevant to being a good game or not.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">True enough. But The tactical battles occur in 3 dimensions and that definately adds to the planning and ship design.

Well... actually, a 3d star map would help SE5 tremendously. It doesn't have to be some convolutedly beautifully rendered piece of artwork or anything, but I just can't stand the 2d starmap in SE4. A 3d map would allow for much more diverse games, and would help to lower the chance of being boxed into a small area early on. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Stars! Supernova Genesis
 

Yes to all of that, IF. And SSN's star map is just 2 dimensional. Only the tactical battles occur in 3 dimensions.

Always wanted to try Asimov's strategic englobement strategy in 3 dimensions on the strategic map...
