Great Game

These are really good games. Although I am not that good at MOO2 I am terrible at MOO, although I love it at the end when you can have 30 doomstars in MOO2. Watch out galaxy you have the most powerfull fleet in the game. The game is a well thought out game that you can have different strategies depending on the game. The thing I hate is how the silicoid are useless, wish you could at least do something with them. Besides that these games are great, there are a must buy for a classic sci-fi game.

Best game ever!

The most addictive games come to GOG. Wow, what a treat for people that never experienced this game. Still playing on a regular basis since it's release.

How Orion started...

Back to 1991: There was a Game played in BBSs through FIDONET. It was a multi-player game, usually a round a day. You connected to the BBS, called that Game, and made your moves, colonization, spying, combat or posts to some player to make a temporary alliance. This game was named ESTERIAN CONQUEST, with as little as 4 players, 9, 16 or 25 (with similar progression of star systems). I found a review of it in an old e-magazine at http://www.textfiles.com/magazines/BTN/btn032.txt Version 1.50 was being played and I ear about a PC-Game that was based on this BBS-Game. Some things could not be copied, others could be added. Same patterns, similar experiences, different tastes. Both games seem the same, but are not. ESTERIAN, becomes complex in it's simplicity. Orion 2 is more like CIV, simple in the complexity. Orion 1 in between, but lacking multiplayer. Each is unique in the same kind ESTERIAN started!
