Classic DOS Games: Master of Orion 2: Battle at Antares Intro (1996, Microprose, Widescreen)

[kirant]

It's 2012.

I've been playing Master of Orion II for 11 years.

And I STILL never get tired of this game.

I miss being able to play this game without a 5 hour install. The CD is just sitting there begging to be played and Windows 7 is the only reason I can't take over the GALAXY!

[Shyranis]

@RandomEncounterFilms If you have the disc, you should also be able to play the DOS version using DOSbox. That's the best way to play IMHO, more stable and easy to capture screenshots and video ^_^

[RandomEncounterFilms]

@Shyranis I couldn't get DOS box to run properly when I had tried all that time ago. I'll have to try again now that I'm getting the cravin once more! :P

[Shyranis]

@RandomEncounterFilms If you need help with DOSbox, I recommend going over anything you have trouble with (error messages, questions about what commands to type to do what, etc) at the forum called VOGONs. Just google vogons and ignore the one about Hitchhiker's Guide. It's usually the third or fourth link from the top.

@RandomEncounterFilms You can DL it, I got it lasy night, feels so good to have it again.

[ShneekeyTheLost]

You know... something I never figured out... why were the reports about shield strength when the Antaran Particle Beams their interceptors are equipped with ignore them completely? Next time, bring Plasma Cannons and MIRV EGS missiles

i love how some dos graphics are better than average graphics of games today

[darkdeathwind]

wait a minute....something isn't right here...

the space stations never have fighters! >:O

[RandomEncounterFilms]

@darkdeathwind Wish they did, that would be bad ass!

[HardWarUK]

Alpha-Niner the most heroic or stupid fighter pilot in the galaxy! :)

[WatchRyder]

'Alpha Niner, SCRAMBLE'

Classic line :)

[HardWarUK]

Pretty damn fine warp field entry by the enemy, really looked like they were 'breaking through space'!!!

[dmcmLIVE]

this is defenitly one of my favorite dos games

[kellystone84]

One of the best games ever

[mega54321]

Interesting. One human interceptor vs numerous alien ships(interceptors and capital ships with superior technology). Odds of winning = 0%. Wonders what the pilot was thinking LOL.

@mega54321

Maybe "I'm not dying without trying to fight back". But yeah he had pretty much no chance.

1:21 is the kind of moment that enlight what EPIC FAIL means :p

[SurviveCheaply]

@mega54321 One A-Wing took out the Super Star Destroyer, it's possible :p He just failed to crash into the bridge :D

[wrath231]

Nooo! Alpha-Niner!

[Kerensky91]
