I am certain that people have already said many a good thing about Master of Magic: its premise, its execution, fun factor, etc. I am not going to reiterate that, other than to say it is a really good game. Instead, I am going to talk about how well this game has aged. People usually assume that the older a game is, the worse it will play. Little things like poor interface, or obscure instruction. None of that is the case with MoM. In fact, despite the outdated graphics, the control interface is some of the best I have seen in a strategy game, even from much newer ones. It provides all the information needed to play the game in an intuitive manner. All menus are well organized. Hotkey support exists for many of the common information sets one would need. There is even right click help available. All told, let me say this: do not let the old style graphics scare you away, by implying an old style ( poor ) control interface. MoM will have none of that. If you can play a modern Civ title, you can play MoM.
