The first SimTex game that put their name on the map was also arguably the best game Steve Barcia ever designed in his short career. This is *the* 4X space strategy game that has it all: solid AI, varied alien races that require different strategies to beat, innovative combat and technology systems, intriguing espionage model, and much more. This game has never left my hard drive since its first release, because of its immense replayablity and nearly inexhaustible strategic combinations. If you can play only one space strategy game, THIS is your best bet.
