gog version has problems

Master of Orion 2 is a great game, but the gog.com version is bad. This version has mouse acceleration enabled with no way to turn it off. This makes it impossible for many people (such as myself) to enjoy the game. The frustration of being forced to use the mouse with this handicap is not worth any game, even a great one like MOO2. I am very disappointed with gog.com for selling an unplayable version of the game.

Like Civ, just faster and with Deathrays

MOO 2 scratches the same itch as Civilisation, but unlike those almost eternal Civ-sessions you can finish a game in one or two days. (You don't have to, by all means choose a cluster-type map, do lots of micromanagement, and play for a week or two). You can tailor your custom-race to your playing style. In the highest difficulty setting this is highly recommended. You can also tailor your research, and ultimately your ships towards your opponents weaknesses, with sometimes devastating results. Your opponents however could do the same. (Un)fortunately the AI doesn't make much use of that opportunity, but if you play against a skilled human player that has a potential for lots of fun - or frustration. MOO 1 is not bad either, but a lot of things got streamlined in 2, so I for one play almost exclusively MOO 2. To me, MOO2 is the best turn based deep strategy game to date, and a must buy for fans of that genre, especially on sale

Ein Päckchen voll 4X Spass...

Master of Orion 1 4X Strategie, die zwar nicht sonderlich viel Tiefe besitzt, aber alles gut funktionierend zu einem Spiel vereint, das viele Stunden lang Spass bereiten kann. (Spiel hat nur englische Sprache) + mal eine andere Art Planetenverwaltung + Schiffsdesign + übersichtliche Menüstruktur - Karten werden schnell unübersichtlich - keine Automatisierungsfunktionen Master of Orion 2 Eines der besten 4X Strategiespiele, auch heute noch eine süchtigmachende Mischung aus Diplomatie, Forschung, Kampf und Expansion. (Sprachausgabe, Menünamen und Buttons auf englisch, sonst deutsch) + komplexe Diplomatie + Schiffsdesign + schöne Grafiken und Animationen + übersichtliche Menüstruktur - Oberfläche mit deutsch/englisch Mischmasch

Peak sci-fi empire building

These are two games that have really stood the test of time. I've come back to both games over the years and it's like meeting an old friend again, always a pleasure. Glad they are both here.

Legendary 4X games

While not the first 4X space game to launch (a nod to Reach for the Stars back in 1983), Master of Orion was the first game to solidly put that genre on the map. The first title was absolutely terrific. The game’s approach minimized the impact of micromanagement… something that most 4X games fail to achieve. The variety of races, with their unique strengths and weaknesses, including which technology fields they excel or struggle with, adds to the flavour of the game. No race can research every technology available in the game. Each game randomizes what technologies a particular race can research… which just adds to the replayability. Graphics in MoO1 are getting dated. A recent free remake of MoO1, Remnants of the Precursors, is fantastic. MoO2 added a lot of improvements. Complexity, graphics, terrific tactical combat. It also tried some things that weren’t so great. For example, planetary improvements followed the early Civilization games of building a variety of buildings that you have researched. It became a micromanagement bore whenever you try setting up new colonies in a game that’s advanced to mid/late game. The technology tree/approach is not as good as MoO1…there is no randomness in the three and the choices often fall into a cookie-cutter pattern. Overall, I still prefer MoO1 over MoO2 but both are great, legendary games.
