Still playing Orion I

Postby drdirt » Sat Dec 17, 2011 11:08 am

I've been playing MOO 1 lately, and looked at that "Copyright 1993" message on the screen. Wow, almost 20 years, and I still play it. My kids played it when they were little, and still remember the game.

To me it's always been my favorite, because the classics are best defined by "Just complicated enough to be interesting". Other than hauling colonists/soldiers around, there is the least micromanagement going on of any space empire game I'm familiar with.

While many people play with DOSBOX, I have a Win98 virtual machine on my Win7 box, and that seems to play the old civ-type games better - Civ 1, Master of Magic, Master of Orion.

I hope other people continue to play this old classic, and that people will build new games based off it.
