OT: Any idea where I can find Stars! resources?

[frightlever]

Stars! rocks. IMO it does resources better than any other game of its type.

Where can others download 'Stars!' ? I do not see the game download at the mentioned site.

[Atrocities]

You have to buy Stars still.

and goodluck finding it. I searched for a long time and found a complete copy. Its hard to find bc it was primarily a download then regist code game. Your best bet is ebay on a similiar site.

My version came on a 31/2" floppy but the demo was a download. Maybe that changed. It would probably be free by now if they (the Microsoft Excel programmers that wrote the game - god bless them) hadn't sold the rights. The sequel never went anywhere and all we have left are the memories. Well and the game.

Ya know after my SEV demo disappointments I might just go play another game of Stars! against the computer. Now THERE was a game that got the interface right. Over ten years ago!

I can still remember the happiness I felt when that 3.5'' floppy arrived in my mailbox!! I played Stars! relentlessly, sometimes printing out maps of my empires to take to work and study. I have fond memories of launching mineral packets at enemy worlds and creating gigantic minefields.

There was a patch that made the graphics even better, and actually pleasant to look at. Unfortunately my 3.5'' floppy got corrupted and I never got around to replacing it.

I wish I could find Stars! for sale again.

While waiting for the new version, Stars! Supernova, I discovered a 100-turn demo of a neat little game called Space Empires IV. I played it and was blown away. I decided I HAD to have the game IMMEDIATELY.

From everything I've heard, no there is not.

Unfortunately no. Although the game was in the late beta stage, and was being beta tested, it's a shame no one 'leaked' their beta copy though.
