I have played games since ..... ever. I love all sorts of games (like: Dungeon Keeper, Master of Orion, Masters of Magic, Jagged Alliance, Dwarf Fortress and many more). I could easily say I played them all (until 2005), and I own most of them. But if I had to pick one, than This is the one! Why? This game is separate genre on its own. It has best diplomacy model ever developed. Very climatic music. And there are NO other games like this. (except on Atari :) ) That is why this is THE game to play. On the down side: It crashes from time to time, it could use more spaceships, more weapons, more technologies, and it would be great to play other races. Modern Internet play support would nail it. Why 5/5 ? Because it is unique gem and there is nothing like this.
