Open Imperium Galactica
Sun, 01/09/2011 - 19:49 | by sixsixfive
Open-IG is an open source clone of the Digital Reality game Imperium Galactica, a popular real time space strategy game developed around 1996 in Hungary. Open-IG attempts to mimic the original game as closely as possible while extending it with new features.
Since 0.8 the project contains all necessary files to run the Open Imperium Galactica standalone: there is no need for the original files.

8) When you start a new game, you can use F1 to go to the Bridge screen, F2 for the starmap, F3 for the colony, F11 to go to the demo statistics screen and F12 to go to the demo achievements screen.
9) Unfortunately, everything else is missing (not ported to the new, independent version).
