I love Master of Orion 2. I still own my original CD from back in the day, and still played it up until I got Windows 10 and it no longer worked. I was so stoked getting it on GOG. Unfortunately the game is unplayable. It loads in black and white pixels that barely resemble the intro, and when going to the menu, everything stays black and white and distorted, and none of the menu items or anything work when clicked on. Not Windows 10 (and I assume 11 as well) friendly. It just doesn't work.
I bought this game on release as a teenager, because I was a huge fan of the movie. The game absolutely blew me away. "Ahead of its time" is a very cliche thing to say, but this game was absolutely ahead of its time, and in some aspects, ahead of the machine I had running it at the time. THE GOOD: The game is exactly how I remember it. It also runs well. No crashes or issues. Still the same great PC game I remember and loved. THE BAD: The graphics are very dated. It would be nice to get a remastered version in the future, which I will absolutely buy as well. But for me, gameplay > graphics. I don't mind at all, but some might.
