Developer’s Description

By Delta Tao Software

Vie for control of the galactic frontier.

Spaceward Ho, already a classic in the Mac world, has been rereleased for Mac OS X. In this game, you control the entire military and economy of a space-faring race. Your goal: explore and colonize the galaxy. Unfortunately, you are not alone in your imperialist endeavors. Alien enemies bent on galactic conquest will oppose your expansion. You fight them by developing new technologies and expanding your empire, or you can ally with them to turn enemies into friends.

Terraform newly discovered worlds or mine their natural resources. Maneuver your starship fleets, both in defense of your own systems and in offensive strikes against the evil aliens. Your strategic decisions will determine the fate of the galaxy. Play alone against the computer or against other humans over the Internet.

Pros
Simple concept, fun interface
Cons
Wish there was more online play!
Summary
This has been one of my favorite games since version 2 or 3 came out in the 90s. A strategy game broken down into its simplest elements with a super fun layout / theme. I keep coming back to it.

Summary
It is quite stable and smooth running on my computer, I am running Jaguar. From a game-design point of view, it is uncannily rock-solid. The addition of online gameplay similar to battle.net adds a whole new dimension to the game, and adds a greatly increased replay value. It has various improvements over previous versions. $40 seemed a little steep to me at first, after putting this new version through its steps, the addition of online gameplay makes it well worth it. If you like strategy games, this is a must.
Simple and fun
