Reach For The Stars Put an end to popups!

I picked this up the other day for $5. Must say I am enjoying it as much as any game I have played recently.

I intended to just add a classic to my Space 4X collection, but it turns out im enjoying it more than MOO3 and GalCiv at the moment. I need to get MOO2 now. Seen it around in bargain bins.

Anyone still play RFTS?

RftS is a bit dry. If you want to get a space 4X game, I suggest you to look for MoO instead of MoO 2.

MOO2 of RFTS?

Don't totally discount MOO2. It's a pretty good game, too.

Increase Your PM Length

I had MOO2 for a while several months ago, a loaner from a friend. Havent had crash problems with MOO2 or RFTS.

I guess it all boils down to opinion. I dont see RFTS as being dry, simplistic maybe. But I do see some personality.
Having played both, I would give GalCiv the nod in the diplomacy department, but thats about it.

Civ2 and even Civ3 really rope me in. When I play them, I feel like I do when I read a good book...im there. Havent got that feel with the space 4X yet.

Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Sorry, RFTS was reported to be crashy (read reviews on Amazon). Especially with larger universes and maxed out enemies.

Never had any crash problems with Moo2 after applying the latest patch.

Well, I never played RftS that much, but it didn't crash on me ever.

It's not bad, but it just doesn't have the epic sense the original has.
