I remember sitting in my Dad's office when I was like 8 playing this game for hours on end. I couldn't get enough and my computer at home didn't have a Pentium processor (which I think was a requirement). The graphics are going to be a bit dated, the storyline a bit linear (from what I remember and what I can judge based on how old I was at the time (8 yr old me didn't care)) but the game is infinitely enjoyable. Because of the more linear storyline I actually like this game better than Galactic Civilizations which has a very comparable gameplay style. Anyhow, highly recommend if you like 4X Space strategy games.
