Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If new titles were fuel, Lucas Arts would be able to go to the moon and back. Only a very few weeks ago we were enjoying Mysteries of Sith, and now Star Wars: Supremacy has been let loose.
This is possibly the most unusual game of all the Star Wars family. Your task is to conquer the entire universe, but you are not given a "hands- on" role. Instead, you must send your governors and troops on crucial democratic or military missions. Sounds simple, eh? Well, don't go making your cuppa yet. To be a truly great leader, you not only have to win the universe, you also have to defend it. This is a game for the strategist, so for those who enjoy blowing everything to kingdom come, this isn't for you.
If you don't have a PII-333 PC with a graphics accelerator, don't fret. Graphics are definitely not a problem in Supremacy. The basis of the game is a lot of statistics and simple screenshots.
There are two main game choices: play as the Alliance, or as the Rebels. Once you have chosen who you want to be, you have to explore the universe, and increase your side's popular support in the various galaxies in order to dominate the opposition. To help you, there are robots who can provide information and advice on any difficulties you may find in playing.
There is just one key requirement for this game... patience. Good things come to those who wait.
Though Supremacy definitely takes a lot of getting into, it's a very innovative idea which does capture the imagination.
