Yes both of these games equally fall into the best game of all time category. If you have yet to play either then pick these up and play! Their open ended sand box play provides for countless hours of enjoyment building your civilization and then setting out to conquer stars and learn the mysteries of the galaxy.
After the countless hours wasted playing the first two I was very hopeful and followed the launch of Master of Orion 3 pre-ordering my copy over a month in advance. I was active in the early modding community and even after many patches and user mods the game was just unable to be fixed from the failure that arrived at release. Please go purchase Master of Orion 1 and 2 and skip this one!
