Description

The venerable update to the classic DOS era Reach for the Stars, this is the 4X game before the term was even invented. Start with a simple planet, build and research better stuff, take over other planets, and eventually control the whole galaxy. Let computer ministers handle the research and building while you handle overall strategy. Improved graphics and special scenarios.
