When I first played this game, I thought WTF, this is a dumb and boring game. As I got more into it, I then realized it was actually a lot more interesting and varied than I first anticipated. I've had it for a while now and I'm still playing it. I wouldn't call it addictive but it has its uniqueness compared to other games I've played so I would not hesitate to recommend it.
Bought this game ages ago after being swept by Orion 2. In a few words: The game sucks. It's amazing how you can put out and priceless game like Orion 2 and have a sequel that is totally the opposite: Total junk. Anyway, try another game instead...
Still playing it, still loving it. Simple old game but it has found the perfect combination of strategy play and entertainment. Every game you play is different from the last one. The E.I. is quite sophisticated but eventually, you'll know it's weaknesses which will allow you to play and win (once in a while) at it's toughest level. I recommend this game for single player only.
