Sanc: still surprised that gog doesnt have Stars!
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/stars https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars! it was one of my favorite 4X back in those win95 days, would be a good addition to old win95 game lists
i replayed it a few years ago , it was working good on window 10 with StarsWine (note that you need to have the game serial for it to work)
https://github.com/stars-4x/starswine/releases/latest dnovraD: Probably because the developer company is a dotted blinking outline. For a lot of the design team, Stars was the final game on record.
The publisher, Empire Interactive Entertainment was part of a bigger firm which was folded into Zoo, becoming indiePub, who then folded themselves. That one is a chalk outline. The only way to dig that one up would be to go disinter records in Ohio.
