A Moo3 Reject

[capnq]

the money flow of the gaming industry is actually getting nearly as large as Hollywood.

I've seen claims that annual revenues for the computer gaming industry surpassed Hollywood back in 2001.

I am not sure, but I strongly suspect those figures include the hardware sales of PS2 and other consoles. Now, if you count in all the popcorn sold in cinemas, Hollywood will come first

I to just came over from the Madness of Orion board. Of all the games I have ever bought, starting in about 1983 for my C64 this one ranks in my top 5 for the worst purchased.

Unless someone is dying to know what I dislike about the game I wont bore you with the details.

Anyway I downloaded the demo for SEIV Last night and at once felt immersed and knowing that I wanted to purchase it.

Now if I can just get someone I know to order the darn thing for me I will be ecstatic cause I cant unfortunately due to a P poor credit rating and no credit card

Looking forward to being active on the Boards and Oh... Hi everyone

Malagon

PS
Anyone here ever play Imperium Galactum on the Commodore 64? I still have it actually but the load times on that comp are so atrocious it takes 10min just to get thru one turn.

You can pay Shrapnel Games with a moneyorder. Go to a bank, buy money order (purchase price + a fee dependent on the bank), send money order to Shrapnel Games, they send you SE IV.

Hiya Malagon. Ran from the Moo3 Boards, too huh?

You'll have to get used to it here. They hardly ever raise their voices...its like...a library (one which they tell the quickest way to eradicate a species).

Got SE4 about 3 days ago. How unlike Moo3

Psst! try an anti-planet drone with a plague bomb

[Mondu999]

See what I mean?

They talk about genocide as casually as if they were discussing their favorite coffee.

I like a nice French Vanilla myself. Though that whole plague bomb thing is all wrong. It is way to easy to counter plagues. At best it is a nuisance! Stealth MineSweepers with Star Destroyers, now that is the way to take out a species. If you don't care about the real estate just go with the black hole option.

[Suicide Junkie]

Yeah, but just try carrying a decent set of Inverted Quantum Beam generators in a trenchcoat.

[Malagon]

LOL you all are to funny Yeah Mondoo I ran from the MoO3 Boards. My reasons for not liking the game were all discussed by different people, IE no one person disliked it for the same reasons I did, and I didnt see much need in adding in my own 2 cents.

I made the mistake of purchasing it based upon the name as in I have 1 and 2 and was just playing 2 a couple of weeks ago. The nonsense about reading up on the game before purchasing it is just that, nonsense. Heck even one of the developers posted that to those who didnt care for it. If they seriously expected everyone to do that then why even give it the MoO title?
No, they darn well knew people would do exactly what I did. Sorry, just venting a tad.

Still learning some of the in's and outs with the SE4 demo. Keep getting my arse kicked but I think part of thats due to the small map and the fact that I sorta overextend myself trying to get the most and best colonies.

This game reminds me a lot of Stars. It had/has a fantastic taskforce orders system. Havent got far enough yet with this one to really be building to many ships.

At the moment trying to figure out how to build a remote mining ship. I am sure there is stuff posted here just havent taken the time yet to do the searches.

Anyway being seeing you all around.

PS Thanks for the money order tip. I checked on Shrapnels website earlier specifically looking for that and didnt see it. Guess I musta missed it will check more carefully morrow. Again thanks much.
