And even with a 4 Gb disk I prefer my data space be used for code that does something rather than a zillion little movies that are only interesting once and then become a waste. Some very small touches, like animated features moving on the faces of stars and planets, would probably enhance the game. More than that is not for 4X games.

Yeah, after a few times no one wants to watch those animations. I had some colonizaton game for my old PC, made by Sierra, was it called Outpost? At any rate, I had a better PC than the game said it needed. (I did get the copy from the CompUSA bargin bin after all) But it would still hang on some animations. Sheesh.

Now a friend dredged up a copy of Star Control 2, and the gas giants swirl around. So I said cool. Then Uranus seemd to look odd, it was swirling with the correct axial tilt! That was an impressive surprise.
