I've been playing this since 1993 and can't think of any 4X game that is as tight as this in terms of structure and playability. For those that don't know, there is an SDL re-creation that reimplements the underlying engine (you still need the original assets to play of course). https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom
I've beaten it on impossible with nearly all races although I generally prefer to play with 4 races, medium galaxy on the hard setting.

- hyperpl 7y agoHa, beat me to it!
- Brave-Steak 7y agoHmmm, maybe I'm being dense, but I don't see any exe to run and there are no instructions for compiling it. Am I missing something? edit: Okay, it's in https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom/blob/master/INSTALL https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom/blob/maste... Don't know why that'd be in a separate file, but okay. And they're Linux-only. At least it seems that the original Kilgore version provides Windows binaries. https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom/-/releases https://gitlab.com/KilgoreTroutMaskReplicant/1oom/-/releases
- intrepidhero 7y agoSection 3 of your linked file has instructions for Windows.
- Brave-Steak 7y agoWhich is cross-compiling from Linux.
- hyperpl 7y agoI should also mention that the developer stopped developing as s/he felt it was feature complete but there is at least one other fork that is still actively being developed (don't have the link handy as I'm traveling).
