It is good to see that I am not the only who is still playing MOO2. That is of course a topic that has often been talked about, but I am still mad about this game. I have to praise it!
I got older, computers got faster, life went on. But Master of Orion II never lost its appeal. An old friend of mine - to whom I lost contact over the years - introduced me to this game. I still know the store where I bought it. First of course I was overwhelmed and though I would never would understand this game. In the end now this "old" game still knocks every other strategic game easily out. It raised the standarts very high and no other game could ever reach it.
Strange somehow. I am 27 years now and it would seem that playing this game has influenced my brain - I can not put my fingers off it.
However, I am glad to have found this forum.
Greetings.

Of the many games I have owned, I always return to playing two: Master of Orion 2, and Brian Reynold's Alpha Centauri.
