Hi Bryan.
The reason people talked about 3 at first is that that was the urrent game
when people ran across the series in 2007. From what I've been able to
determin, the only one that is absolutely unplayable is 2, and that because
there are no text labels on any of the equipment screens for your ship so
there is no way to buy any upgrades to your guns and missiles. This is
something that could've been fixed at the time, but sinse s2 hasn't been
worked on sinse I believe 2003 or so there probably isn't much point.
That does mean 3 accessible games in the bundle, plus you et the addon for 3
which was originally an extra automatically.
I really wouldn't recommend spending time with s4 however. S5 tells the
same plot, the cessession war, has all the same content and the same
interface, but has much more fun stuff added such as a far better combat
system and actual exploring of the planets, Smugglers 5 was in fact
originally going to be smugglers 4 version 4.5.
I'd very much suggest downloading and trying the demo for s5, rather than
bothering with 4.
indeed S3 and s1 (and maybe s2 as well), are far more different games to s5
than s4 is, though out of them all I'd regard s5 as the best, and s5
invasion as just more of the best sinse it is basically s5 with a different
story as well as different factions and ships and skills.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
