OK - Now I am going to have to go home and fire that game up. You are right, that game had excellent music.

Imperium Galactica II had a great soundscore set to it.

Here’s [one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70iuHBW3sXA) (the pics are NOT from the game!).

[Defcon](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYgXdyVs05c) also has an eerily appropriate soundscore. For Global Thermonuclear Armageddon, at leaqst.
