Hi guys. I'm new to this site,and i came here on a mission. I've been hunting this one game all over the internet and i cant seem to find it... Maybe you guys can help. Its a turn-based space strategy game, where the goal is to take over all the planets on the map. Its for quite a few players, hotseat style. Different planets you take over have different statistics depending on size and population. when you take over a planet, a flag of your color flies from it. I remember clearly that you could buy different types of ships for your fleet, and throughout your turns, it would show your fleet's eta to wherever you sent them. You could send anything from really huge carriers to "ssms" which were just a bunch of missiles.

Thats pretty much everything i can remember about the game. I spent so much time playing it, it was such an awesome game. I think my description might sound similar to master of orion but its definitely not. Any ideas?

This site makes me wish i didnt have a mac!

Haha, yeah, but thanks... i think it had numbers in the name, but i might be thinking of tyrian which i played a lot too.

How about Spaceward Ho! ?

Nope not that either. I actually went and hunted down people I used to play it with, and found out the game's name. Its STELCON 2469. Really addicting game and from the description, you can see its probably similar to Master of Orion. I'm excited about that, because my parents got me moo3 for christmas! woo.

I reccomend someone whos into these kinda games give stelcon a try.

My fav turnbased is Medievil Total War, Civilization series, Lord of the Realms 2, and Rise and Fall of Anciant Empires (Even though it sucked like muck)

The Total War games are a mix of turn-based and real-time. The overall campaign map is completely turn-based, and probably best compared to games like Risk. When you start a battle of some sort it drops you into a real-time 3D environment with the armies that were in place on the campaign map. If you wanted to avoid the real-time stuff you could ask the computer to automatically resolve those battles (although it would typically result in a worse result than if you fought it properly yourself), and if you wanted to avoid the turn-based stuff you could just create custom battles with various units in armies.

These days Rome: Total War is miles ahead of Medieval, but we're hardly talking oldies anymore.
