Master of Orion 2 is still the best X4 game ever created. I would give 10 Stars if possible. Its more than 20 years old, but i still play it from time to time, even while it's kinda easy if you know how to do it after thousands of games... but still every game has its own charme, every time there are other planets, every time the aliens are different. Sometimes you have luck and sometimes you dont have ;) But its always fun to play, especially if you have badluck and try to get along. I haven't played the new MoO remake, because I dont like the idea of "Star Roads". In Master of Orion 2 you can fly everywhere (as long as you have enough fuel). This freedom is imho one of the best things in MoO2. Oh, and the Soundtrack / Graphics are awesome.
