SO.... I was one of those that couldn't play when the game first came out. I simply got a cloudy screen and couldn't do anything with it. Just yesterday, I got a Steam Upgrade. I figured, what the heck, let's try it again. I got a message this time telling me that my video drivers were too old too play this game. But.... I went ahead anyhow and guess what.... I am now playing. Now, every time I start the game, it tells me I may not be able to play, but, I am able... I don't know.... So, what do I like, dislike? I miss being able to see the whole map! Yes, it may be more realistic to only be able to see what your ships have been to, but I like planning my number of scouts and colony ships depending on the number of planets I have to go look at. I guess I will get used to the new play. It is also difficult to get over the fact that ships will not move until I do a "turn", instead of moving as soon as I tell them to. But again, I will get used to it.
