MY CHILDHOOD!

@AnotherSchmoe Yea man, I don't know where my copy come from, I got it handed down at least third hand, I played that for years until Master of Orion 3... Yes, my name is Colonel Hess, and I liked MOO3 :S

@ColonelHess:

Kids these days are missing out man. I never got into Ascendancy (though my dad had a copy of it around the house), but I was big on Master of Orion II. :)

typo typo ^^ of course chance ;)

@aimson

no idea. I have prob. only 10 to 40%. everytime I have 2/3 of the galaxy occupied. After this I often played the game to the end (killing everyone^^). but even after this you can play further ^^.

A version of it is on the apple app market to buy. funny but before you could have downloaded as an abandoned software ;) (and Dosbox for example) (oh, the title says it already ; )

[bevivian22]

why is he not using his shields? (or didn't he know he have to activate them? ) ^^

interesting game with cool and very unique ships. sadly poor AI and with a really strong AI it would not be playable (the galaxy would be to complicated/defending occupied systems) the AI patch was not strong ;) (just AI "cheats" research and industry).

oh, and no change managing (and having fun) a bigger galaxy.

If you could have at least a list e.G. with 5 items the planet will build...

@aimson I can only imagine it's something to do with Time/size +tech, ships and colonies at end of game. but yeah I also have no idea.

The game has been ported to iphone/ipad by the people responsible for the original everyone!

Anybody have a clue how the total game score is calculated? I can find absolutely no information on it and its damn frustrating.
