(More customer reviews)Produced in 1996, this game runs both in Windows 95 and DOS.
Here it is 13 years later, and I still come back over and over to this game as one of my favorites. In fact, I keep an old Windows 98 laptop just so I can avoid difficulties in playing this game on new computers.
The basic plot is you are a ruler of a space faring empire. But you are not alone. The galaxy is populated by other space faring races of roughly similar technology levels.
You start at a primitive level of technology and through the course of the game, must explore the galaxy, build your civilizations, build a war fleet, and deal or battle with alien races. To make matters worse, this pesky advanced race known as the Ataran's pop up from time to time and cause havoc.
The game is very customizable as to the galaxy you set up, your race, fleets and battles, etc. You can dive in and control things in detail every turn, or you can automate some features to concentrate on the core of running your empire. It is very similar to Master of Orion 1, but it has been expanded to add a lot of options. And yes, you still have to deal with that highly advanced lone battleship in the Orion system.
Being released in 1996, the graphics still hold up well. I highly recommend this game as one of the best turn based science fiction empire building games ever made.
