Current version: 0.94.404

Introduction

Open Imperium Galactica (Open-IG) is an open source Java^TM reimplementation of the Digital Reality game Imperium Galactica, a popular real time space strategy game developed around 1996 in Hungary.

Open-IG attempts to mimic the original game as closely as it makes sense in 2012, while extending it with new features. The project contains all necessary files to run the Open Imperium Galactica standalone: there is no need for the original game's files.

Download the Launcher to install and run the game.

It should run on any platform supporting Java 7: e.g., Windows, Linux and Mac. (Java 6 works but not recommended.)
