So, how did you find out about SE?

I downloaded SE2 way back in Highschool. They got me young.

SE3 was a huge improvement over SE2. It had editable datafiles. SE2 just let you have your own shipsets. And I thought that was awesome.

I dig a lot about SE4-- it has editable everything (almost) and all kinds of coolfeatures, but I really think SE3 was easier to use. SE4 certainly looks prettier, but I don't mind a spreadsheet in space. I have an imagination.

I was sending out my scouts, since we were refugees of the fallen Mmrshan Empire, from Moo. We arrived just in time into an alternate reality, I found a periodical on a subject indicating I have arrived in a world of SEIV galore! Woot,
translated = Hey I played MOO2, got tired of waiting for Moo3 found out about se3, and the rest is history!

Taz is an old gamer...he remembers when Empires was state-of-the-art.

Had downloaded SEIII demo and played with that for a while...

Then got lost in RL (Real Life) for a while...

Couple of years ago I had a LOT of free time on my hands sudden-like and remembered SEIII. Looked it up on Google and re-found it and SEIV at same time. Bought SEIV and then SEIV Gold six months later...

MMMmmm I think I found it the illegal way (sorry guys at shrapnel etc.)
A friend of mine had a compilation of games on a twilight cd (all cracked game, without movies etc.) Played it untill it was dark and a redheaded girlfriend beside me

.
Then SEIV gold came out and I bought it...cost me like 65 dollar to get it shipped from the US to The Netherlands, but it was and still is worth the price

See I was hanging out with some friends one day and I turned to one of them and said, "You know Aaron, you ought to write a computer game..."

No, seriously. Started with SEIII. Only shareware game I ever liked or played enough to actually buy. Played it a lot but only single player. Eventually drifted away for a year or so. Then one day I was dusting off the old games and found it again. Liked it the second time so I decided to see if he had ever come out with a new Version. Fortunatly for me that was just about the time that Shrapnel started shipping SEIV.
