I am a fan of turn-based, multi-player strategy space-themed war games. I am not a fan of real-time games mostly because I ike to mull my decisions, and it is difficult to get everyone together at the same time.

Currently I play the aging, but still great Space Empires IV. This game has some great features including being very mod-able, and great depth and variety of game play). There are some other old but great space-themed, turned-based strategy games (e.g. Master of Orion), but most of these either had no multi-player, or required everyone to be playing on the same computer.

Anyone on Soylent play a great turn-based strategy games which is space-themed, of which I might not be aware?

    I agree, I have a registered version from 92 or 93 somewhere. I probably got 3 or 4 other people to play; unfortunately, most of the time I ended up just with me and the PC.

    I only had played the DOS version; the Windows 3.11 version had numerous tiny graphic files that were perhaps 1024 bytes and took up 32kb due to the cluster size -- a game that was less than a dozen megabytes actually took up 300mb once installed. The DOS version had no such problem!

    Of course now, I no longer stay awake at night wrestling with the decisions of whether to erase gwbasic.exe and other seemingly unnecessary files to make more disk room for games like VGA planets that make lots of small temp files, nor the rest of the night wondering why I can no longer run programs like edit.exe after erasing a list of seemingly unnecessary files.
