So I might’ve mentioned before that Imperium Galactica II: Alliances is my favorite 4X space strategy game, like, EVER. Well, while I don’t usually cover mobile gaming, I found out today that this AMAZING game is now available for the iPad through iTunes for about $4. $4!

Happy 50th Birthday Space Games: A Look at How Far We’ve Come
I recently realized that Spacewar! was first released in 1962, fifty years ago.
