The way all TBS SCI-FI should be

I never got into playing Master of Orion 1. But when I started playing Master of Orion 2, I fell in love. It is a game that will NEVER get old and remain a golden classic. You can customize your ships with a variety of weapons, shields, armor, computers, equipment and engines. You can research a large variety of items to aid your colonies, your empire, diplomacy, weapons, etc. What I love is how they hint at influence from Star Trek and Star Wars. I love the fact that your largest and most powerful star ship is a "Doom Star", a massive small moon which can then be equipped with a "Stellar Converter" the planet destroyer gun. This is a game for EVERYONE too play. Casual and hard core. It is gorgeous in art, game play, originality and excitement. The only downside is that the multi player is non existent anymore. Since the game relied on an older version of online play which is now obsolete.

don't miss this

These games should not be missed. They are very unique, a lot of strategy goes into them, diplomacy, research, custom races, galactic battles and invasions.

Works Great!

Never thought I'd get to play Master of Orion again. Everything downloaded rapidly and the game works great. Thanks, GOG team!

MOO2 is blowing me away

I'd never played either of these games but decided to try one because I love star trek and civ a whole lot. Galactic Civ was fun and I love Alpha Centauri but this game is already proving to be the best and I'm only a few hours in. I love the way the galaxy looks, I love the way you run your colonies anyway you want but no decision feels like it doesn't matter. Everything you do has an impact and all of the game is laid out in a few simple menus! It's so easy to know what you are doing but knowing whether you are making the right decision is difficult and that's how a good 4x strategy game should be. I love this more than any Civ already and can't wait to get better at it.
