Thanks, but Alneyan was my inspiration for that one.

Of course not Narf! There wasn't any glowering whatsoever, so it cannot be me. Now, since mice aren't undead... Mind Thrust!

Back on topic, Gamespot has done an ill thing to SEIV. They actually have two SEIV's listed, with Gold getting the very short end of the stick.

They have Space Empires IV, which they reviewed with a marginal acceptance, and then they have Space Empires IV Gold which they have not reviewed.

I am beginning to think that perhaps gamespot is drive by money and not by excellence in game play.

errr... most sites like this are mainly driven by money
oh and the fact that they often get alot of the games for free for review

Tim has said in the past that some of those magazines wouldn't even do a review of SEIV (Or many other Shrapnel games for that matter) because they didn't have a box and weren't sold in a store.

Oh that has to be one of the crappiest excuses I have ever heard. I will bet that if Tim had offered them a grand or two they would have reviewed the game.

Tim if you read this, please post the name of those magazines so the rest of us will not make the mistake of buying them.
