Great strategy game. Tough one for me at the time though, too tough. Not having the instrucitons for it certainly hurt a bit... The game is basicaly what Tomasz said. There was certain "realism" in the game that felt very very in place.
A nice strategy game.
You are the emperor of a space federation and you can imagine your objective: conquer other world, develpoe new spaceships and weapons, expolre new planets etc. One thing was really new: You had to gather a certain drug, which had the effect to stop getting older. So, if the player was able to ensure a steady support of the drug, he could play the game nearly endless - untill the entire victory about the whole galaxy!!! HAR, HAR, HAR!!!
