I grew up playing Master of Orion, Sim City 2000 & Dune2/C&C and used to think “wouldn’t it be cool if there was a game that combined them” and then I found IG1&2 and realized some clever folks in Hungary had made my dream a reality! As far as I know no one has really combined those 3 things since!Ī couple of years ago I started seriously considering doing a big IG tribute at Blake’s Sanctum and started looking into what happened to its creator Digital Reality. Well IG1 did that 13yrs before Blizzard did haha!Ģ – It was basically 3 games in 1. In IG1 you could even explore your own ship! People raved in 2010 when Starcraft 2 WoL came out because you could spend large amounts of time exploring your battleship and talking to people in the bar in between the strategic missions. Completing strategic objectives brought on amazing video & story rewards instead of just some simple text on a screen saying “well done” lol. What made IG so good and different to Master of Orion and everything else out there at the time (& even to this day in some respects) was 2 things:ġ – It had epic immersion via all the amazing videos and story elements. The old Imperium Galactica Series was one of the greatest game series I ever played as a kid in the 90s and now I’m pleased to say this old forgotten 4X space strategy series is returning to us thanks to Nordic Games.
