Space empires 2(SE2) is one of the best strategy games you can download in less that 8 years. This only takes about 8 minutes. In SE2 you try to kill your rival space empires. The unique thing about this game is that you actually design your own ships. And I'm not talking about the how it looks. You get to design the components. For example you can choose to put ether disruprors or say... ripper beams(or both) in your ship. Also there are tons of ship types you can choose. There are about 7 types of ships in the demo. The ships can carry more equipment and you get the better ships as your tech level goes up. There are 5 tech levels in the demo.I'll be working on an info page for a while so if your stuck try going here. The size of the download is 590k.
