Bradley7735 -> RE: OT - Any suggestions for a space game akin to WitP? (2/11/2005 10:54:37 PM)

It's about 10 years old, but "Masters of Orion" was an awesome game. I have a friend who still plays it (on an old machine).
I think they made MOO 2 and MOO 3, but I didn't play them.
The original was pretty fun, though. You could play from 8 or so races, pick things that your race is specialized in (government, trade, research, production, fighting, etc etc etc). You would explore the galaxy, build colonies, research technology, build spaceships, trade/fight with the other races, deal with random events, etc.
Each colony had to be managed. (income, food, pollution, unrest, etc)
it's a fun game that took about 2 to 10 hours to play. (I would play over and over again, though) it just depends on how big you start the galaxy at, and how many opponents you want.
It was strategic, like WITP, but the fleet battles were pretty cool. you would maneuver and attack individual ships (turn based mode). You can build custom ships, or just the generic ship of your technology.
fun. (the original doesn't work in XP, or I'd borrow it from my friend)
