I was looking for something similar to Starfleet Battles (and found the Starfleet Command series, btw) and stumbled upon SEIII. Played it for a while without knowing that SEIV was out. When I found out about SEIV, SEIV Gold was in the works and about to be released, so I bought SEIV Gold and the rest is history.

Many years ago, I found the SEIII demo when I was searching for strategy games while looking at a games site. Downloaded it and started playing... I have been addicted since.

I first found SEII about 5 or 6 years ago (I was only 11 or 12 back then!

). Downloaded it, loved it, then found SEIII. Downloaded the demo, got hooked really fast, then bought it. Then found SEIV Gold, bought it, and that's how I came to be here.

I was on the old TOP forum when one of the members, cannot remember which one, posted a link to the SEIV beta. I had been searching for years for a game like SE IV, and jumped on the demo like a starving dog on fresh meat. I never looked back.

If only I had know of Stars and SE series back in 98, oh boy would I have been spoiled rotten.

I first found Se3 (demo) while browsing Tucows.com a while ago for free shareware games I could try out. The demo Version was a bit hard for me to master, and I never did play it fully, but it did get me interested in Malfador. I began to check Malfador's main site often, and I found out that Se4 was in the works. I downloaded the se4 demo, and kept playing it to no end; I never did purchase the normal se4 outright, I guess the demo had satisfied my gaming needs, but when se4 gold was in development, I again tried the demo for se4 gold, and decided to start posting here at the Shrapnel Forums; not long after Se4G's release, I shelled out 100$ canadian (conVersion, then taxes, then shipping) and got se4 gold. I've been happy ever since.

A friend showed me SE2 a long long very long extremely long time ago. Then a long long very long time ago I decided to look for the game myself so I could play it and found out about SE3. Waited for SE4 and bought it. Oh, time is reletive, I'm sure all you old guys would consider my life a blink of the eye.
