Warpath 97
What makes Warpath 97 unique in the genre is that it combines elements from action games as well. To achieve your goal of conquering the galaxy, you can either buy allegiance from other players, and blasting those who refuse to follow you. Its a fun combination of action, strategy, and a solid multiplayer chat environment.
The underlying economic and combat model are simplistic when compared to games like Master of Orion and Space Empires IV, and the variety of ships you can build is nowhere near as large as Stars! or even Spaceward Ho!. But as a light multiplayer galactic conquest game, Warpath 97 is well worth a look especially to those who wonder how a 4X game can be done in real-time. The demo version allows 20 hours of play, and you can buy the registered version directly from the official website. You can also download Warpath Classic, an earlier version that has been released into the public domain. Recommended!
