Homeworld (3D Real-Time Strategy) Review
I have been a fan of Sierra's "Homeworld" series for a long time. I played this game until my wife almost left me. The graphics were great, the controls, story, cinematics, and audio were addictive and truly first rate. I was immersed in the gameplay and the strategy for hours at a time. It's not a fast game by any means and required (at the time) a lot of my comp's resources just to run the graphics. Very cerebral and fun to play.
I somehow lost my copy of the game when I moved in 1995, so I looked for it here on Amazon.
I bought this game originally back in about 2000 and played it through a couple of times. I got a newer, faster comp and played "Homeworld: Cataclysm", then got "Homeworld 2" which was too much for my comp at the time. I finally built a dual core, zippy 'puter in 2009 and loaded XP on it and was finally able to play HW2. Now I can't get the original HW I just re-bought - to run.

For those that love RTS space sims this is or was a great game. The whole series had a very plausible story line and at times very difficult missions. To bad they ended the series. Wouldn't mind seeing this made into a movie. Outstanding game in my humble opinion.
