The good and the bad.
How I love MoO 1. It's been one of my favorite games for over 20 years. I've just started MoO 2 and am baffled by it. While MoO 1 excelled in elegant simplicity, MoO 2 has so many screens, options, and controls that I have no idea what to do. So far, I haven't even found a way to exit the game without closing the window. I may spend more time reading the manual than actually playing.

Highs and Lows of 4X
Master of Orion 1 is a great game, good exploration and pacing, great planetary management and tech development, memorable and iconic artwork, and battles which are although a bit abstract are great in that they scale well into the late game. Whereas Master of Orion 2 is frankly one of the biggest disappointments I've played. They thought it fit to include Master of Magic-style city management into a game that deals with galactic empires. In present day, developed world, about 4% of our population is in agriculture but in this game you're going to have entire planets growing wheat. Ships have too much detail, and for all their detail many battles against say the Antarans will see your entire fleet wiped out before you can so much as scratch your nose. Tried to get into MOO2 multiple times but always left complete unsatisfied. Unfortunate that 4X has been saddled with this model for so long. Moo2 2/5 stars

Amazing Deal
I only owned MOO2, but even though I still have the disk somewhere, I plan on buying this pack. This is the essential space strategy game collection. While I prefer the fantasy theme in Master of Magic, Master of Orion 1 and 2 are significantly deeper and more complex. Designing your own ships and taking control of the fleets that you have led to your opponent's base planet is a thrill like few others.
