Story:Spaceward Ho! is a turn-based science fiction computer strategy game that was written by Peter Commons, designed by Joe Williams (Joedelta) and published by Delta Tao Software. The first version was released in 1990, and further upgrades followed regularly; the current version, 5.0.5, was released on July 8, 2003. It has received wide recognition in the Macintosh community, for example being inducted into the Macworld Game Hall of Fame.
Spaceward Ho! can be categorized in the 4X game genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate) with a theme of galactic conquest. It took many elements of its design from the earlier Reach for the Stars, but expanded on many of that game's basic themes while taking advantage of the larger memory and better graphics available on the Mac platform.Show more
Not the best graphics but the gameplay is awesome. The vessels are ready crazy.. find the balance of expand and sience.. and you may win versus many opponents.
I have been searching for this game for years, as I remember playing Hot seat with a buddy who had an early486 system. It was not available due to some rights issues 5 years ago but I would love to see how it stands up today.
This game is from my childhood. I remember playing it on mac as a kid with the apple share file getting updated every turn. Can we bring this to a modern windows system?
Ich kenne dieses Spiel schon seit mehr als 20 Jahren. Ich habe es noch auf einem Amiga, aber leider funktioniert der nicht mehr. Aber das Spiel gibt es ja auch für den PC! Es ist sofort meines, wenn es das hier gibt!
