A work of pure Genius

They just dont make games like this anymore. I feel like Im the leader of a galactic civilization when i play this game. I send my powerful fleets across the galaxy as I wage war, Or use my diplomatic skills to bring my enemy to its knees. the second one was even better as there was not only a threat from fellow races, but from an extra-dimensional species that could not be reasoned with and wanted you and all other forms of life wiped out. Truly epic gaming form an age of gaming that has vanished to the simple, blah games they make today.

Best games ever

Simtex hit the turned based strategy genre on the head with these two games. Both are excellent. Some prefer the more detailed approach of MOO2, but I'm in the MOO1 camp. It was the first game I got the day I got my computer in 1994. Since then it has stayed at number one. Nothing has ever knocked it off that spot. TBS games after that have always been everything from a slight disappointment to all out failure. For $5.99 there is nothing in the galaxy better than this deal. This is history ...this is pc gaming. My wife will have to drag me off here to go to bed tonight since buying this Master of Orion collection on GoG. THANK YOU GoG for all your efforts to bring us games like this. And at this price..just WOW.

The Original 4X Game - So much goodness!

Still a classic. I recently downloaded a copy of it and it still holds up. From the golden age of Microprose, this title has even more "just one more turn" appeal then it's earthbound companion (prequel?) Civilization. Admittedly, the GUI is a bit on the primitive side, but simplicity has its advantages too; With a very uncluttered layout, all you need to know is on display without digging through a bunch of sub-menus. This is the only game that has ever caused me to destroy a computer peripheral. During my first finals week in college, I was playing a little MO1 to relax. Unfortunately, my ultra-cheap mouse chose to seize up for just a moment (mouse balls, boy I don't miss those) causing me to move an entire fleet of ships to the wrong position where they were promptly destroyed by a black hole projector and I lost the battle. An especially crushing defeat since I hadn't saved in a LONG TIME. Infuriated, I cut the mouse cord in half, swung the mouse around like a bolo and slung it into the cinder block wall of my dorm room, smashing it to bits. I then taped the remaining section of cord to the ceiling, to show it who the boss was. That is how engrossing this game is. Enjoy it, but be warned.

Ah MOO, how I've missed you

I wish game developers today could take a page from these games. Still two of the best ever made.

... and counting. Still I wanted to add my review as well. Why? For one because it is one of the two games that brought me to sign up at gog.com But why do I fully recommend this game? I'm just talking about the second part and I'm trying really hard to leave all nostalgia out it. Okay, if you like round based play the game is intuitive and fun. It is easy to build up your colonies, conduct espionage, design your own ships, recruit infamous star captains, launch webs of intrigue and strategically fight your battles so that none of these things feel like a tedious chore. This is something even modern games lack. There is always some part of the game (mostly annyoing Minigames) that are chores rather than fun gameplay. So, do you like Science-Fiction? Did you watch Star Trek or Star Wars and thought: "Wait a minute, I can do better than this!" With just a tad of imagination you can forge your own Empire. Build an entire fleet of Death Stars and anihilate all Rebels while your favorite mp3 player plays the "Imperal March" in the background. But maybe you are a Cybernetic Nerd and would liked the Borg Hive Mind and assimilate the population telling them "Resitance is futile!" Maybe you wanted to play as the Arachnids or as Space Marines, or win Starship Trooper style - whatever you fancy this game will cater your need. But the brilliant thing is: It is intuitive enough to play, the graphics have aged rather well, some details are still very nice and the controls are user friendly enough not to be in your way of your ascenion and total domination of all known space.
