*nudges out Spiffor* I need a great Space STRATEGY game!

[Boris Godunov]

I'm a pretty big SW fan, which I think is why I was so disappointed in Rebellion. If anything, that made me like it even less. The designers made a lame game and then slapped on SW graphics and names, but the game has little to do with the SW universe.

The best Star Wars game I've played is definitely Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast. Great fun. But not a strategy game I know.

What not KotOR?

Now where can I get the original MOO, and will it run on Windows 2000 or XP?

[Spaced Cowboy]

Did you try the usual suspects?

It should run on xp, abeit without any sound.

Yesterday I went to the Hayden Planetarium here in NYC and saw the space show which gives the scope of the universe. It was rather awe-inspiring, and filled me once again with the desire to experience an atmospheric space strategy game.

Ok, here's what I own:

Imperium Galactica II
Master of Orion II
Ascendancy
Galactic Civilizations
Space Empires IV Gold
Star Wars: Rebellion

Well you got most the good-uns already.

No one has mentioned 'Reunion', it came out about the same time as Ascendancy i think.
Its a involving game which i got into heavily at one point, it demands alot of the player to really find all its good points. Worth a look if you have a machine capable of running DOS games.
I'm playing a game on and off at the momment - and realising all the helpful things i'd forgoten to have a chance to beat the game......you can get it at the place with no name

If you have an amiga, or run emulators, the game 'Deuterous' and 'Milenium 1.1' were considered the best of their time, and it was many years before the PC came out with deep games like Masters of Orion etc.

Should run on either OS.

I never had sound anyway when I played it in DOS.

Azazel, did you get FA to run under WinXP? I tried, it starts but crashes very soon in the game.

I haven't had any luck geting it to work on XP. ( I had a craving for it last week and dug out the CD only to be disapointed. )




What I would do for a space strategy with actual politics and more depth than just building **** and conquering the galaxy....


EDIT: But, since you have Space Empire IV, I recomend you go here and play a PBEM roleplay game.

FA sorta had it. sorta.

Well, I picked up MOO3 for $10. I'm going to mod it using suggestions from the forum here at 'poly and see if I can't make it playable. This is the best I can do for now, I think...

[General Ludd]

I would recomend Birth of the Federation over MOO3 if you're going to be trying the bad ones too.

[asleepathewheel]

good luck

[Urban Ranger]

Birth of the Federation?

[Nostromo]

Anybody tried Emperor of The Fading Suns? Is it any good?

[Skanky Burns]

EoTF is quite fun. I must admit losing interest in playing it before having managed to even invade another computer's planet completely though.
