Most of the 3D games out there are just crap - like the new X-COM game for instance.




That would be what is known as a "shameless cash in".
Doesn't have anything to do with X-COM, really.

Thanks for the hints :-)

One of the things I noticed about SEIV, is the way planets and ships are constructed in a similar way to a really old game- The Logic Factory's Ascendancy. SEIV is far superior to that game, but it shares a small niche in my games collection.
I'm looking forward to receiving the full SEIV.

My three-year-old system's graphics card doesn't give me an option of 24-bit color; it jumps from 16-bit to 32-bit. (In fact, I'd never even heard of 24-bit before I got SE IV.)

I agree with Baron Munchausen that 3D acceleration is a ploy to sell hardware. I don't have a 3D card on my system, which means that I cannot play one of the games my sister gave my for Christmas. I'd like to upgrade to a new system, but I've been trying to pay down my credits cards first.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
