Endless Space smiley: smile



It seems others wouldn't count Alpha Centuari as one but I played that a lot (though I much prefered Call to Power and fusion tanks smiley: biggrin)



However I get the same feeling playing ES as I did when I first played Escape Velocity Nova (The lore!). Can't wait till final release that's for sure.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, if that counts. Still my favorite game ever, bar none.



Otherwise, I think it was Master of Orion III. As a Mac gamer, my options were sadly limited.

Galactic Civilizations II Dark Lords, or if it counts the Beyond the Sword space mod for Civ 4!

Pax Imperia counts? Otherwise, Imperium Galactica, MOO1 and Fragile Allegiance comes to my mind.

First for me was



Sins of a Solar Empire



Very epic game and I would play massive battles and galaxies on it. Caused my computer to crash twice.

Ah it's nice to see some people still remember Alpha Centauri smiley: smile I'd say my first space 4x was Imperium Galactica 2 I believe.

it wasn't a proper 4X but the very fisrt vaguely similar (or at least enough to give the taste for conquering galxies) game I remember playing was somthing that became "Spaceward Ho !" later (don't remember the first name, though)



The first proper 4x would be Pax Imperia

(Can't see why it wouldn't).

Pax Imperia definitely counts, yes. smiley: smile



Never heard of Fragile Allegiance before, though. I somehow missed that one!

Spaceward Ho! IV is awesome. I still have it installed on my desktop. Great fun!



I would say it counts as a 4x title, albeit a very shallow one. It's definitely a light "beer and pretzels" game, at least by the standards of the genre; you can easily knock out a match inside an hour.

Master of Orion 2. Remembering the short animation you would see when destroying a planet still warms my heart xD.
