@Sirrian I was pretty surprised you were involved in making that game. You must have been young lol Played the hell out of it and kicked the cpu’s ass numerous times. Lots of fun making a big fleet of mkiii battle cruisers and bombarding enemy planets into oblivion. ---

@Nimhain I could see if you posted pics lol I Googled / wikipedia Sirian because I was curious what else he did since I rember his Nintendo DS games. I might actually have to find reach for the Stars again to give it another play through. Maybe we need a sub forum for old people that rember old games lol ---

@Sirrian I’d ask for a tour, but I only have a 2 hour lay over in Melbourne as I head to brisbane to propose lol. Long, long trip for a yank like me. And I need her to say yes! ---

I don’t want to think about all the hours I spent playing Warlords and Warlords II in the early 90’s. You’ve done a lot to save me from skin cancer over the years! [Next page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/reach-for-the-stars/11477.md?page=2)
