I don't have a clue what the roguelike genre is, but what I do know is that I love this game. There's nothing to the story, the graphics are meh, the music is forgettable, the sound is standard fare, but the fun factor is unmatched. It takes an hour or two to play through it once, but when you're done, you want to pick it right back up and play it again. "Replayability" is what this game should be called because each iteration through the game is an entirely different playing experience. I am honestly addicted to this title. It's crack for the mind... and I need another fix.
I bought these in hopes they were going to be a more stable version of the classics I already own (MOO1 on 4.25 floppy and MOO2 on a Windows 95 CD). Sadly they both run thanks to DOSBOX which is effectively what I already have. If you're looking for a fantastic pair of games in the 4x genre, this is a must-buy. If you're looking for a more stable version of the game that works better than pulling out your old install media, this isn't worth the time. 5 stars games, 3 star installer...
