bigeeezee Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 hey everyone, I just bought an Imac 24". Yeah, im pumped! But anyways, I have lots of fiddling to do before I have to bring it to school. I wanna install windows (I'm an engineer, I need it...), but I just realized that there are a buncha old macintosh SE games that I used to play as a kid, back when we had one. crystal quest, shufflepuck cafe, PGA golf, etc. there was one game in particular that I loved, but cant remember the name to for the life of me. It was a space stragegy game on the SE. you had ships that could colonize, and you had ships that were like fighter ships, and you went to planets and colonized them to expand your realm or whatever, and fought the bad guys. I think that the planets each had a face on them, but I dont remember that entirely. it was all black and white, and a sweet game. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or where to get it? I dont remember if it was called galactica, I dont think so but my internet search has turned that up as the most likely choice, however it could be totally wrong. C'mon guys, help me relive my childhood here! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118461-old-space-game-on-mac-se/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 What genre was it? Strategy? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/118461-old-space-game-on-mac-se/#findComment-839137 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeeezee Posted July 30, 2008 Author Share Posted July 30, 2008 Yeah, I would say strategy was the genre. there was no direct combat involved, your ships automatically fought theirs, you just ordered your ships around. I seem to remember that the colony ships were round-looking, and the fighter ships were more "agressive" looking, but I dont remember much beyond that. It was FOREVER ago. I think it had something to do with cowboys in the title (or maybe I'm just crazy). and the icon was a planet wearing a cowboy hat. I mean, I could be one hundred percent wrong, but have you guys heard of or played a game like that?
