Spaceward Ho! Is a turn-based space strategic conquest game where your objective is to start from a single system, harvest metals to build ships, send ships out to claim more worlds, thus obtaining more metals to build more ships. Each system you get can also contribute to research, which will allow you to build more powerful and less resource-intensive ships.

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 objective is, of course, to be the sole ruler of the the 'galaxy'. The game, as the cover shows, has a completely 'Western' theme, where the planets wear bandannas and cowboy hats.

.Called 'one of my favorite classic Macintosh games' by none other than Wil Wheaton! Is a strategic game of awesome scope. You control the entire military and economy of a spacefaring race. Your goal: explore and colonize the galaxy.Unfortunately, you are not alone. 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.Based on the original Mac/PC/Palm game and updated for Android.For new players, read the Help file and also watch the tutorial video online.
