So, how did you find out about SE?

In July 2000 a friend posted about it on the now gone Omega Forums, (Star Trek Based) and I followed the link. I downloaded the demo and fell in love. I then joined the old SEIV Forums, and from there to here in November 2000. The rest is history basically.

A web buddy, Flipper, tuned me into making ship sets, and additionally inspired by the work of Warp_9.

Ship set developing is a lot of fun no matter how you do it. I highly recommend it to any one, and Aaron should have included it as a perk to the game.

I hope SE V is as enjoyable as SEIV has been.

A PBEM gaming friend pointed out SE3 a few years ago as an interesting game to try out. Got hooked.

I found the SE3 demo on some old FTP archive way back in the days, and played it on my 486 under win 3.1

Snowballed from there.

I found a series of shareware games called "Exile", which have now been released under the names of "Avernum", and was looking for other shareware games and come across Space Empires III.
Downloaded the demo and loved it. I even got my wife to play a few games with me.
When Space Empires IV come out, it took me many months before I would buy it over the web, but my wife said that if I didn't, she would...
We have both spent many months playing the game and I think we are in one of the longest running PBW Games.
Even though it means I spend more time in the study at home, earlier this year I received Gold for an early birthday present...

I never heard of any of the Space Empire games until I read an article in Computer Gaming World, went to the site, read up on the game, sounded good, ordered it, been hooked ever since
