Same story here. After I read that review by Trotter in PC Gamer, I fired up Google, went SE-IV huntin', found the Shrapnel Games web site, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I remember playing Reach for the Stars way-back-when on my Macintosh SE... remember those? The ones with the 40MB hard drives? Then, years later, when I finally restored my sanity and bought a PC, I bought Master of Orion and rejoiced. I shied away from MOO2 for fear of just buying into the "same ol' same ol'". Besides, X-COM had started siphoning off all of my free time.

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to buy into a good 4X-style game. But now, I, like many others, am firmly Aaron's *****, and quite happy about it

I'm enjoying the opportunity to kick back and watch the cat fights on that MOO3 board, while wrapping myself up in the warm, snuggly blanket of gaming goodness that is SE-IV.

You may puke now
