I used to play a game many years ago called STARS!. I moved overseas for a while so i quit but the game makers, whose name i forget, were saying that STARS! supernova was going to be made. When i came back I checked their website but although they had made the game and there was a community they couldn't get it published because no distributor was interested and after 9/11 the market apparently went down the toilet. Then about a year and a half ago I was going through a catalogue I get from this games stockists and stuck in the middle of the computer games section was a small description of something called space empires3 and 4Gold. The advert said it came without a box and was only in shrinkwrap, and the price was well above a normal game. I was looking for a 4x game to play so I ordered it and apart from a small time after I got bored with single player and before I found pbw I havn't gone a day without playing it. Obviously the high price was because SE4Gold wasn't released commerically, by which i mean it wasn't in 20 boxes on the shelves of EBgames. It goes to show though that the best games aren't just those sold by the major stores and you have to be lucky to come across them.

I have a terrible memory. On second thoughts its MOO3 i quit playing when i got bored with the single player game.....after 3 games.
