For the price of burger & fries - you can have gaming goodness to last a lifetime. I still play Master of Orion - and I bought it when it first came out back in the day. http://www.gog.com/en/promo/atari_classics

If you get a JA game - get JA2. It is much better on modern systems. I replayed JA2 within the last couple of months. Very fun game.

Sol Invictus Centurion Posts : 967 Joined: 6 APR 2005 Location: US Status : Offline	I am very tempted to pick up MOO 1&2 and MOM but I just bought Realms of Arkania 1&2 and Betrayal at Krondor. I am also sorely tempted to get Fallout 2 and Tactics. Plenty of cheap solid gaming out there. As soon as AOW: Shadow Magic is released I am all over it. Good times!

MIGMaster Commander Posts : 2123 Joined: 4 MAY 2003 Status : Offline	Fallout Tactics is a good little game. It needed a bit more polish re: some of the dialogue and a few bugs here and there, but I liked it enough to play it thru to the end. "We like our women like our gaming - Hardcore !"

I never picked it up back when it came out, is it any good? If I remember correctly it got panned when it came out....I played in a few years back after picking it up cheap somewhere and was quite surprised with how good it was. Sort of a squad based tactical, turn based game in the Fallout universe using the same engine but without the deep role play and story of the original two games. But fun none the less, quite challenging.

MarkShot Commander Posts : 2935 Joined: 3 MAR 2004 Location: US Status : Offline	Considering MOO 1/2/3 as I've never played any of these space 4Xs. The problem isn't the money, but more like I already have enough new stuff (BG 1/2) and enough old stuff (too long a list) to play. Either the games will side track me or they will just sit uninstalled & unplayed. Still it is tempting.

Ostfront Centurion Posts : 169 Joined: 13 JUN 2007 Status : Online	Putting the world greatest 4x with MoO 3 is just wrong. Almost playable yes, but no were near the greatest. Believe me I wish it was, I loved the first two games but the third is just broken. All you have to do is mothball your fleet one turn and then teleport it across the galaxy the next turn. At lease that the way it was the last time I played it. And tactical space combat and planetary combat were also weak. Diplomacy was greatly improve by the Mods. But overall the game is still very weak.

Which mods did you use? My experiences have been entirely different from what you've described above. Planetary combat in modded MOO3 is more complex and more detailed than in ANY other space 4x game. I implore you to prove otherwise. "And They shall know no fear, for they are fear incarnate"

I think it was strawberry or something like that. Can you still teleport you fleet across the galaxy? If not please tell me the what the mod is.

Teleportation, the ship moved across the galaxy.

Gods knows I want to believe you guys, but I've still been reluctant to give it a try for some reason. I think I'm worried that even with mods, it will still feel too much like I'm playing a spreadsheet. What's your take on that?

This site seems to pretty well have MOO3 fixes in hand: [link]http://bhruic.dyndns.org/patcher/index.php[/link] --- Jarhead and or others, Do you know if the GOG version of MOO3 is third party patchable? As they sometimes recompile the EXEs and some mods alter the EXEs, there can be problems. Thanks.

I can tell you though that bhruic is he man...he is the one who has turned the game around and brought it back from the dead. You're better off with this site though I think...it has the combined super mods/patches... [link]http://www.moo3.at/mods/[/link] "And They shall know no fear, for they are fear incarnate"

MarkShot Commander Posts : 2935 Joined: 3 MAR 2004 Location: US Status : Offline	Re: MOO3 Looking at: http://www.moo3.at/mods...=displaycat&catid=14 It clearly indicated "Version 1.2.5 Modifications". GOG states on their product page for MOO3, "Patched to version 1.2.5". So, in the absence of anyone with any actual experience trying to patch the GOG version, I would guess that it can be done. Now, I just need to decide if I will buy them.

I can't remember which one I used but it was unplayable (for me) without it. I'll dig around and see if I still have them somewhere. AAR Central

Gah; sorry about that Jarhead. (And actually, those were my own words, not Ostfront's.) In any case, to return to my original question: Does MOO3 still feel like playing a spreadsheet to you? Or do the mods alleviate that issue? "I happen to believe that both parties deserve a good scouring with a metal brush and sent to their room without reelection" - Steelgrave
