Editorial Review:
Forge an empire to span a universe. Colonize unknown planets and trade with other races for their knowledge. Conquer alien star systems by war or diplomacy to secure their resources. Only then can you guarantee your galactic supremacy. Multiple game settings let you select such factors as your adversaries' intelligence, the size and age of the galaxy, and the level of civilization. There are multiplayer options for up to eight players. You can play using modems, a network, a hot seat, or TCP/IP. The game also includes 13 predesigned races, each with its own abilities, and the means to create your own.

Rating: - Old - but darn near perfection for a tactical game
Ok - its old - very old for a game - but like a lot of really old classics - its freaking great. It took Game of the year 10 years ago -and its still a strong game to pick up and play now and then.
The graphics are old and tired - and the AI isn't as great as maybe what a team could make today - but its still is better than 90% of the new stuff made today.
This runs fine on Win XP and under - and the game is inexpensive. If you don't have it - why don't you!
Rating: - Old, and classic

I love games that make me think but don't require me to do a lot of little steps and remember a lot of details; I'll take an other college class for that.

That alliance you once had has been broken, not what do you do and still get to your next tech advance? I've decide I prefer to be the Spartans even if the Gaians are more in line with my own political views -- the ... Read More
Rating: - Cool interactive empire building concepts
There are about eight species you can chose from including humans or you can make up your own species. I like the graphics especially when you talk to other races or your own advisors. Remember to save it though and make sure you've save it before you quit or you'll have an unpleasant surprise waiting for you when you get back.
Rating:  - What OS are you using?
What a great game it was until OS 9+. Then, no support and no operability! Beware!
