2 Moo3... oh dear, how I wanted that to be good. The concept of a game you play through higher-level automation isn't even a bad one, as long as you don't totally mess up the high-level tools like they did. I have heard of mods which make the game at least playable. 2 Moo3... oh dear, how I wanted that to be good.

4 I played a game of Master of Orion 1 earlier this week actually. (Still not finished... got stuck in a Final War against the rest of the galaxy which I believe is winnable, but it's gonna take a while. Damn Darlok diplomatic penalties.) 4 I played a game of Master of Orion 1 earlier this week actually.

8 Then again, I learned to love strategy games as a young bub on MoO and Civ 1, so maybe I have the nostalgia glasses on. 8 Then again, I learned to love strategy games as a young bub on MoO and Civ 1, so maybe I have the nostalgia glasses on.

12 I'm hoping that a MoO reboot is as good as Age of Wonders was as a "sequel" to Master of Magic. Hoping for an XCom class reboot would be too much, but I suppose you never know. 12 I'm hoping that a MoO reboot is as good as Age of Wonders was as a "sequel" to Master of Magic.
