Yeah, if only I had the specs to run it. If it runs a PC that can run Homeworld (one that doesn't have an actual 3D accelerator), then I'm sold on the idea. I loved the developer's original Sword of the Stars.

There's another!

Sword of the Stars! I loved that one! The ship creation was great.

It's really excellent, at first I diddn't like it so much beacuse all the races felt similar, but I kept playing anyway and started to micromanage my fleet in combat and pay more attention to the special abilities and such, which made it about a hundred times better... The first time I used Guardians to repulse the enemy fleet, so amazing. It's kind of more about Macromanaging your fleet and defenses and economy, which makes it feel more like a game of risk then anything, until the combat starts. Really nice graphics as well, and no stupid CD keys so LAN parties are awesome. The community are realeasing some good mods for it to, so it has lots of potential to expand, even heard there is one guy working on adding more races. The only mod I have on right now adds about 12 or so new planets. It can be kind of long though on multi-star maps... My internet is slow so I haven't got a chance to try online multiplayer.

Starcraft.

End of story.

But, I've had bouts with Age Of Empires 2, Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3, Age Of Mythology, and Total Annihilation.
