I'm totally jonesing for a good empire building game. MOO2 doesn't quite cut it any more, the interface annoyances keep getting to me. Civ3 I've played mostly out. Sci-fi would be good, and space, with ships to upgrade, and cities/planets to build or something. I wish MOO3 hadn't sucked.

Hmm. I wish Nomad ran right (with sound) on my computer. That game was fun. No building in it, but a lot of characterful aliens.

I don't know if its available anymore, but Stars! is a nice one, pretty old now, windows native game, from like the 95-98 era, so just a few different windows, one with the map, ship design etc.

And you've got me remembering a game I want to play but would have to travel up to Albany at a time in which the proper people would be interested in playing.

"Blatant Copyright Infringement" A game born out of the statement of my brother aoon after rereading the foundation series "You know, I've played tons of games where you build up a galactic empire, but I've never played one about the downfall of one."

and, as the title suggests, I'm pretty sure there is only one copy in existence and no way in hell would it be published in current form.
