Default 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.

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.

Having a box is better. We all know that.

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.

Sounds like a bad way to release a game that practically lives on patchs and modding...
