I petitioned GOG to pickup this title about 2 years ago --something like that-- and it's is amazing to finally be able to experience this game again in full res. I can't say more than it's still one of the best games I ever played and that you should buy it.
I own a retail copy of this game, but I couldn't get those old binaries running on my new machine. This is why I love GOG. While M.A.X. 2 was a big disappointment, the original game is still, by far, one of the best strategy games out there. The turn based element adds a great pacing to the game and you always have to option of building a colony rather than fighting to win, depending on your game type and playing style. The diversity of M.A.X. is one of its greatest strengths and one most games of today, lack, entirely.
