Line 3:
Stars! is a turn-based [[4X]] strategy game set in space. It was made for [[Play By Post]] multiplayer; as such it uses Simultaneous Turn Resolution (simultaneous phase-by-phase, and with AI-only combat) and optional dedicated server executable.
It was made for Windows, but doesn't require capabilities beyond very basic;
Officially [[Abandonware]]. The only not quite free part are serial codes (you need one per human player in a game, except those on the same computer), and those are given for small donations on the server maintenance. See "[https://wiki.starsautohost.org/wiki/Get_Stars! Get Stars!]"
