Re: First Time
I got hooked on Dominions 1, then Dominions 2, followed it to the forums here. Then I looked at some of the other games offered here. The new M.U.L.E. (Space HoRSE), Intergalactic Trader, Dungeon Odyssey, War Engine, Star Fury, and Space Empires IV
They are all hard to explain to people who expect a game to be like the ones they buy off the shelves. Lots of glitz and glamour and deleted in a month. But they all Laster more than a month.

Re: First Time
Yahoo search for 'design ships'. I think that's how I found stars!, too.

Re: First Time
When it appeared that STARS! supernova had no chance of ever coming out I went through a mail-order catalogue looking for a replacement to fill my 4E fix. Found SE4:Gold, it was expensive (we all know SE4 isn't mainstream so they had unboxed copies imported) but the description sounded good. Got it, played it for awhile, stopped playing for a few weeks, then took step to PBW.

Re: First Time
I was looking for something similar to Starfleet Battles (and found the Starfleet Command series, btw) and stumbled upon SEIII. Played it for a while without knowing that SEIV was out. When I found out about SEIV, SEIV Gold was in the works and about to be released, so I bought SEIV Gold and the rest is history.

Re: First Time
Many years ago, I found the SEIII demo when I was searching for strategy games while looking at a games site. Downloaded it and started playing... I have been addicted since.  |
