How do I get the full vertion of Space Empires IVG
 
Hello, as far as I can tell, this game is nolonger sold. If one wants to get their hands of Space Empires IV or V gold, how do you go about doing so?

Thanks for reading.

Strategy First has it for sale (as Deluxe) for 20$ US:

It's also in some retail stores these days like Gamestop etc.

Do not buy the digital download version; it's infested with evil copy-protection software that won't let you upgrade your RAM. If you can't find it in a store, try to mail-order a CD from Strategy First.

Gamestop has it. Or at least the store in mall by me.

Having a box is better. We all know that.

Welcome to the forums. On the right, we have complete nutcases. On the left, we have total loonies. Straight ahead, we have unsorted basketcases.

Would you like some cheese?

RAM? Huh?

The Steam or digital river download version ties itself in to your computer's unique fingerprint (OS, hardware, etc) so when you make changes to it, the game defaults to demo mode and you have to get support to get a new code etc.

Huh...well that's what I'd call a crappy, big-brotherish, invasive form of copy protection.
