OT: any other games?

[MythicalMino]

gandalf, have you played Space Empires IV Gold? I have heard that SE4 is actually better than Stars!....i have SE4....and the demo for Stars.

But, Stars I just haven't really played much of...just a little bit...

Also, I had Master of Magic, but couldn't get it to work on XP...

I have the demo for Stars!, but what is the "pull" of that game...I also seen that Wal-Mart now has both Alpha Centauri AND Alien Crossfire.....perhaps I will pick that game up...

Has anyone played Empire Deluxe though?

Hidden and Dangerous 2, it is an awesome tactical third person shooter, but you need a good comp to run it.
It is a totally new game.
Lot of previews are on the net here is one:

The only real complaint I had with Stars is that I didnt get in soon enough. By the time I started playing it they had the strategys pretty well locked down for solo, multi-play, 2-race alliances, 3-race alliances, small map, large map, etc etc.

Never tried 'Primitive Stars!'? That was a refreshing variant. To my knowledge the 'best' strategies for PS! have yet to be devised.

let me ask you this....is Stars! worth the money it will cost me to buy it? also, where CAN i buy it?

Too bad Supernova Genesis (is that it?) never came out....looked VERY impressive...

YES!

Dunno - but if I remember well, the answer is in the Stars! FAQ. Or you might just ask in the rec.games.computer.stars newsgroup.

Don't bring this subject up again, you're just hurting me badly.

[MythicalMino]

LOL...sorry....but it did....even looked so much better than MOO3....how did that game get released, and no body wanted to publish the other....

As far as buying, I have been to the website, and the sites to purchase will not come up...

But, what is it about this game though that SE4 doesn't have?

Heh, Gandalf, it seems one of us is the other's clone.
