Master of Orion 3

Atari, listen up - Power Point is not a game engine! You shouldn't do anything this dull without a paycheck.

This may be the most boring "game" ever. Old text-only versions of Zork are more captivating and rewarding. I love turned based strategy games and enjoyed the original MOO and MOO2... this isn't even a shadow of those classics. There's not a lot I can say about MOO3 because there isn't anything to it other than a completely dry presentation of micromanaging a civilization in a galaxy-wide map. That's it. There is no entertainment value what so ever. Doing your taxes is more fun. Watching dust accumulate is more thrilling. A Chia Pet is more interactive. Avoid this "game", life's too short as it is.
