Welcome back to Millennia: Altered Destinies my friends! In this entry, I try to fix what I’ve broken with the Piscenes, and in giving them some of their own technology a few hundred years early, I bought them an extra hundred years, but they still have to deal with the clawfish war now. I’m not sure how to solve that particular problem, but I think if I keep handling crises for other systems, I’ll be able to get a weapon back to them that will help them survive. Overall, I love this game. The mix of space and time travel, exploration, puzzle solving and so on really clicks with me. Everything in this game is a puzzle to be solved, and while I hate puzzle games traditionally, putting it in the guise of a spaceship-focused game makes it work for me. I love, love, love this game and you should totally give it a try because you will to. Sadly it’s not available anywhere digitally, but it’s worth tracking down a CD copy as it works wonderfully with DOSBox. Thanks so much for watching this series, my friends, and I’ll see you next week!
I had completely forgotten about this one. I never beat it back in the day, (predating any walkthroughs etc). I remember frantically jumping back and forward, changing, changing, changing, but always galaxy remained mono chromatic in the end.
Thanks for reminding me.

Yay, welcome, and I’m happy to remind folks of the older games!
