Galactic Civilizations Demo Released

Posted by simoniker on from the moo-not-moo dept.

Galactic Civilizations is a recently released PC space-based strategy game (see our earlier story on it, or check out an elegant review at Gamespot), notable for favorable comparisons against the none too favorably received Master Of Orion 3. There's now a Windows demo (51mb) of Galactic Civilizations available, originally released via Gamespot, but also downloadable from Gamershell, Fileshack, and from Gametab's BitTorrents page. Not bad for a game originally developed for OS/2 back in 1994.

  1. All these games are for Windows by Tim_F · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    When are we going to see news on Linux games? I know games have been traditionally released for Windows, but I feel that Linux has reached a point where its stability and graphical speed can be a huge advantage over Windows. I have been doing all my gaming in Linux for just over a year now, but I need something a little different now. KMines is starting to get old. Any suggestions?
