Have fun!!

I haven't played SEI or SE II either. A long time ago I downloaded the SEII demo and started it up just to see the intro and the menus but I never got around to playing a game.

Where did you buy it?

tbh SEII is not my cup of tea. I did really love SEIII tho.

Aaron was going to release the source for SE2 soon... but I bet he's glad to have a nostalgic fan actually order that old game

I remember a long time ago my brother used to play it, and I played it a little but was to young to enjoy properly. WoW I wonder if I still have that game some where, it was great.

I never got to play SE I. When I bought SE II, I was under the impression that SE I was never released, and never would be. It would be interesting to se how it all started, but I don't think I'll spend $35 to see it.

SE1 was briefly available for free, I think around the time that SE4 first came out... I might have it lying about somewhere, or maybe Fyron does... Basically the universe was one huge grid of sectors (no systems or warp points! Though I think there were storms you could hide in), and all planets that were not homeworlds were occupied by primitive civilizations that you had to conquer before you could take the planet. You couldn't design ships, and I don't think you could research either, but instead you built ships with predefined combat strength. There was no AI, so you had to find someone else to play against. Pretty primitive, huh? Though I do like the "primitive civilizations on every planet" idea... hopefully we can mod that into SE5

Primitive can be a nice change of pace sometimes, though.

Space Empires I sounds a lot like 'Empire' in space - a game that I always wanted to create before I discovered Space Empires.
