Any One Here Still Play

Does any one here still play BOTF, Rebellion, MOO2, etc?

I am playing a game of BOTF right now. I forgot how much fun the game really was. Very enjoyable. A tad bit in micromanagement though, but otherwise very nice diVersion for now.

I play BOTF occasionally. The AIs are too boring in MOO2 for me, so I don't play it anymore. I don't have Rebellion.

How could you be unfaithful to SE4? I haven't seriously played any other game in about 2 years now. (Although I am considering buying a PS2 just so I can own SSX Tricky=-)

I have, and play MOO2. Waiting for MOO3. I do not have any of the others. OH, WHOO is me!!

The only other 4X title I've played this year was Reach for the Stars. The year(s) before that included Master of Orion (1), and Star Wars Rebellion. None of those are still on the HD.

Besides SE IV, I still have Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire, and Civilization II on the HD, and have also played King of Dragon Pass relatively recently.

...Hmmm, well I have Civ III, Moo2, and AOW 2 in turnbased. And Morrowind and Virtual Pool 3 in Other Category. Looking forward to Moo3 and the Morrowind Addon. Morrowind and AOW2 HAVE cut into my playing time for SEIV recently...

I have (but haven't played in a while) MOO2, am waiting for MOO3 (asked my mom for it for Christmas - now I have to wait 7 weeks instead of 3!

but hey I save $50 if she actually gets it for me

.. though I might end up buying 2 more copies, one for my brothers (I have my own computer) and one for my "girlfriend" (don't know if we're actually at that point in the relationship yet...)), and I downloaded MOO1 (hey, they talk about it all the time on the Infogrames forums and no one's shut the threads down!) but the sound doesn't work (even with VDM-Sound!) so I haven't played it much (wanted to hear the old music!!!)... Played the demo of Stars! and wanted more but never bought the full Version, though moddability would be nice... will they EVER release Supernova?!?

Dammit, just give it to Shrapnel and at least you'll get SOME sales! You'll never sell any if you just hold out for a "major" publisher! I'm sure Shrapnel would take it even though they have a 4X already - they have both Runesword and Dungeon Odyssey!

Anyway, done ranting about Stars! for now... maybe I will go out and buy the original if it's not still too expensive (see my shareware rant

)... those are the games I've been playing... so even though I've listed a bunch, I haven't really played any of them lately. Oh yeah, Starfleet Command, but that's not 4X, it's RTS - but hey, it's sci-fi!

Just started a game of BOTF a couple of nights ago. Still enjoy it. Never did get a copy of rebellion. Can't find it now. I do want to get a copy of it though.

I liked moo2, though it was a lot easier (and less fun) than Se IV.

I found RFS to be pretty annoying in almost all ways (SE has ruiuned me).

There was another couple of games I played - Imperium Galactica and Pax Imperium. Those were both fun solid SE IV type games and will occasional replay them.

The Civs are always fun.

Did any of y'all play MAX or MAX II?

After discovering PBW when I am not doing a turn I spend my game time thinking up new tactics. Tried civ III, but no AI matches playing against a real person.

BTW What's BOTF?
