Space Empires III

Classic turn based strategy game. It's simple and rather easy to learn but has quite a few things to try and many approaches to playing. you can play 100 times and have things play out differently each time.

Absolutely loved this game when I was younger. So glad to find it again and playable on my computer. My fav play style involved setting up a net of battlestations around warp-points, then filling the point itself with mines. Works great as long as my construction points can keep up with maintaining the stations. I also depended heavily on missiles, with point-defense and shield protecting my armor, which in turn protected my core. I actually prefer this to Stellaris, though SINS is a close second to this game.

I'm glad that this is being preserved for posterity, but there is no reason to buy this other than an interest in the history of gaming.

Wonderfully well balanced game with terrific structure tech tree.

Its missing the ship boarding parties from the REAL version AND... oxygen colony now has 20 levels insted of 3

intricate, yet compelling. Very well balanced old style game

It is just right.
