About
Galactic Command (GALCOM for short) is the third series of space exploration video games developed by 3000AD, Inc.
Unlike the previous series, this game is targeted specifically for the casual/action fan, with advertised 'very low learning curve'. Elements such as trading, diplomacy, pointless exploration from the previous series were stripped away for the AIP (Acquire, Identify, Prosecute) compliant gameplay experience.

Reception
Reviews were mixed, praising the game for its ambition and scope but critical of the complex nonstandard user interface which is not customisable, elements of the design, and the steep learning curve. GameRankings listed an aggregate review score of 56%.
