So, how did you find out about SE?

A friend of mine and I were discussing games like these. He pointed me to SE IV which he found because he played STARS.

He lent me his disc (

)and I fell hard for the game.

I have bought IV and have bought GOld twice since then.

I will buy StarFury based on what I hear from people here, and will preorder SE V at my first oportunity.

I was looking for a new game that interested me, checked out all of the big gaming sites and was underwhelmed. Did a larger internet search and found SE III. Downloaded it, got hooked and played it a lot. For some reason, I never looked on the internet for any additional info for a while, but when I did, SE IV Gold was just about ready to be realeased. Downloaded the SE4G demo, was blown away and ordered gold as soon as it was available.

My story is almost exactly the same as slick's, except that I didn't bother with the se4 demo- I just pre-ordered the game there and then (I had been about to register SEIII when I found SE4 was about to be released.

I wonder what my life would be like if i had never found seIII..?

Way back when Pentium 75�s were fast, I was looking for free games on the web. I found SE2 and dl�d it. After a few starts and stops I got the hang of the demo and sent off for the full Version. And been sending off every few years since. Stayed up many a night playing that demo Version. A few battle stations could block a warp point all night in that game and combat could Last hours. Then with the full Version, fighters were king.

Was performing a internet search on the board games Starfire and Star Fleet Battles. Stumbled on SEIV via a review. Had enjoyed computer games like Anacreon, Empire Deluxe, Starfleet Warlord, and Pax Imperia, so I tried the SEIV demo. Ordered the full Version two days later then pre-ordered Gold a month later.

During Last september, I was waiting impatiently for the release of MOO3. So I wanted to buy another soft to help me waiting. An internet search on "space strategy game" brung me reviews of SE IV gold... It looked interesting (and quite cheap) so I bought it.

BTW, I've never bought MOO3
