First played SEII demo a long, long time ago, in a... erm... nevermind, it was just a long time ago. It was on a shareware disc. I liked it, but didn't get into it too much (mainly because I didn't have a computer in the house to play with it for another year or so).

When we got our first computer (1995, since it had Win95, right when it was first released), I tinkered around with it, and was completely content to just simply mess around in Paint and make utterly horrid attempts at pictures. A couple years later, I was searching the Internet randomly, put in "Space Empires", and found the SEIII demo. Played that for a while, then bought it just after the 1.15 Version came out. Was hooked since then (I'll get around to buying Gold and Starfury... I've been sticking to Classic since I've been stuck without my own computer for a while).

SEIII gave me a warped sense of what "Minimum System Requirements" meant, since I was running it well under the minimum. I was disappointed when the minimum requirements for other games actually WERE the minimum requirements!
