Discovered and played VGA planets back in the 90s for about a year. At that time, for fun and to see if I could do it, decoded VGA planets data structures and authored a small add on called Super Nova as proof of concept.
Discovered Planets.nu 15 years later...and I was hooked from the first turn.
I prefer the variety of playing multiple races rather than focusing on a single race.
