It is out of print for a couple of years now IIRC.
I still doubt it is abandoned. I have SEIV but I don't like it that much unfortunately. |

Really. I think it has it all. Well in terms of gamplay at least. The music could have been better and the graphics is just ok. But I still think it's the best 4X game out there.

Don't get me wrong, it is a very very good game and can be easily considered one of the best of its type ever. Just not for me. I prefer Star Trek Birth of the Federation, Ascendancy, GalCiv, Imperium and Stars! from SEIV.
The problem for me is that I get bored playing it. It has almost everything yes, but for some reason I can't easily get pass turn 200 or so without falling asleep. Well, not really but you get my point. edited spelling error, I think. |

I never played this game, but I understand what efthimios means by getting bored with the game.
Some games might be perfect, but they missing that thing that keep us wanting more, and trying to finish levels... |

SE IV should be played mutliplayer for a really kick behind game. It takes a very long time tough, as it is play-by-email. Nevertheless, one game lasted 212 days :w00t: (when I finally lost unfortunately) and it rocked. You have so many possibilities for offence and defense (as a human) the game can go anywhere. The AI is merciless, but unoriginal, when it is set at the highest level. This is more a game for the chess players amongst us however. There is an even better 4X game, came out last year, can't recall the name, was a big underground hit.
Anyway, I once played Stars! eight years ago and it was a lot of fun. Is this game for sale or protected ? I can't remember, played it at a friend's place. Cheers, Lodewijk |
