The game plot revolves around your character, Marcus Cromwell, who for most of the time will be in command of one or more ships, in a war that doesn't really concerns him. One thing is for sure, it has an original script with powerful-beyond-imagination alien races, strange artifacts, a ship no one knows where it came from and manipulative aliens (part II). I have to admit that the story is not the strongest point in the game, but at least it's not about mega corporations in the future fighting for supremacy.
Sure nobody bought the game - they didn't know what to buy. This is like dodging buyers: when they saw the people have an interest in the game, they changed the name and then once more to make sure nobody has followed them. I can see why this specific title didn't work? The final version that would eventually hit the shelves on Earth is of course Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. For some odd reason, like money, the project got scrapped and picked up again under a different name, Galaxy Andromeda. This masterpiece was supposed to be the long awaited sequel to the great you guessed it, Imperium Galactica 2. Hold down to your seats because I'm about to say the first and true name of Nexus: The Jupiter Incident? the suspense is killing me? just a little longer. This particular title has changed its name twice. We may never know all the motives that render a game forgotten, but I know at least one in the case at hand. Why do games that are supposed to be hits fall into oblivion? Is it bad publicity or even the lack of publicity whatsoever? Or maybe they just arrive at the wrong time when the market is saturated by some other genre? We will probably never know, but this is the main reason I'm bringing this baby in the spot light. Anyway, the reason I'm putting this game under a microscope is because I feel like it has been the most underrated game of 2005 when in fact it should have been in the top five. You may think that I am out of my mind to analyze such an old game strange how we start thinking on another time scale whenever we talk of computer games.
