Hi, my name is Adam Solo and recently I decided to start my own blog about my passion: Space Strategy Games.

Like so many of you I love the space exploration subject and also as many of you I love to play space strategy computer games. I’ve been playing space games for a long time now (about 20 years), way back then to the ZX Spectrum games (one good example is Rebelstar2).

You can get a feeling of what space strategy games I’ve been playing over the years by reading my blog first article entitled: “Space Strategy Games: What’s Next?”. In this article you will find a chronological classification of what I consider to be the space strategy landmarks (which includes the classics Master of Orion series or the Galactic Civilization series), games which I’ve been playing intensely over the years. This article, and also my blog, focuses more on my space strategy gaming experience of the 4x genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate) but I also like to play all sorts of space related games which includes space simulation (like the Xwing oldy, or the more recent Nexus: Jupiter Incident) or turn based space tactics games like the X-COM series (X-COM: Enemy Unknown, aka  UFO Defense, and X-COM: Terror from the Deep) or real time tactics simulation games like the Homeworld series.

My passion goes for space strategy games however I also enjoy other turn-based strategy games like the Civilization series or other real-time strategy games like the Red Alert series, Company of Heroes and the TotalWar series. And although this blog is primarily focused on space strategy gaming I plan to post occasionally about other space gaming genres or other non-space strategy games when I find it of interest to the space and strategy gaming community.

The purpose of this site

The purpose of this site is to offer a place to the space gaming community where people can catch up and share thoughts and ideas about space strategy gaming  in all its different aspects.  Additionally I want to offer a place to the developers of this type of games where they can present their products in order to keep the space strategy genre alive and vibrant.

Other purposes of this site are to provide you with space games reviews, the list of space games that myself and the site’s community recommend having a look at, to launch the discussion of ideas which includes new concepts of game design (what is already good and what can be improved) and also to provide you with details regarding new space games that are released and space games that are currently under development.

My posting objective is to release at least an article every week, and if time allows to post twice a week. And if I’m really inspired maybe three times a week, let’s see what happens. One thing’s certain, I’m really eager to talk about space gaming. My pursuit is to provide you with valuable content, no rubbish, no waste of your time (or at least I’ll do my best ).
