Master of Orion 3

The death to a great series of games

Master of Orion (MOO - note: great games get abbreviated) one was one of my all time favorites. MOO two was a really great game too, once you patched it. Master of Orion three (notice no abbreviation) is the one game t... Read Full Review

The modders saved this game! Check out Atari's boards to learn how to save it yourself.

This version of the Master of Orion series was initially a huge disaster. Many of the features did not work properly, others were never activated, and some cornerstones of the macromangement concept were broken. I woul... Read Full Review

Absolutely the worste game ever.

What can I say that hasn't been said already? I honstly cannot believe that they released this game in the condition that it was in and then had the gul to sit back and try and tell us that it is a perfect game. This w... Read Full Review

Has not aged like wine

I still feel burned by this game's creators. Such a shame they smeared the MOO name with this vile fluid. The company did release one patch before they ran off, pointing and laughing at fans of the game, pockets fill... Read Full Review

What the first two did this one ruined the series.

I was a big fan of the Master of Orion series but this one took everything bad that the first two games had and added a few other dumb improvements as well. First the graphics are atrocious in battle. Although the Aliens... Read Full Review

My very first Love has lost her glamour with age.

Yep : Master of Orion, in May 1994, was the very first computer game I have ever played, the very same month I purchased my first PC (a 40 MHz 486-model, with 8 MB of RAM). I still try it out, once a year : it runs fine ... Read Full Review

A disappointing sequel, almost in alpha stage, but still the most AMBITIOUS and innovative PC project in recent memory

As a MoOII addict, I was shocked like many others to experience what I call now a pre-alpha, alpha stage SPREADSHEET of blurred data and windows clicking fest. The innovative features are there, and it's not that they ar... Read Full Review

Master of Orion was a great game. MOO2 was an incremental improvement. MOO3 tries to be an incremental improvement over MOO2, but is ultimately too buggy to deliver, and you're better off sticking with MOO2 or finding ... Read Full Review
