Re: Any One Here Still Play
 

slightly OT, but what is the deal with MOO3? Is it coming out, ever? and will it be good you think? Better tahn SE4 if that is possible/comparable? My only experience with it was a mod/secenario for Civilization 2: Fantasy Worlds (Or something similar, it was basically Civ 2 in space).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Imagine a gigantic map with thousands of systems but with only a small percentage of those systems actually habitable (Let alone favourable). Then have 50 or 60 empires and neutrals messing about in there and the possibilities would be truly limitless.

Supply and movement vales would have to be modded (Proportions mod?) to make it playable but that would be sooooo cool...

Oh! I remember Cyber Empires! I remember it took my brother and I nearly 30 minutes to realize that the metallic planetary surface were bLast doors, not the game map. We were like 9 or 10 and didn't know any better.

Great game though. Was fun to build mid-level mechs like a Hercules and blow away everything but a Titan. Though I hated how only the computer could really aim the missles worth a damn.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Civ 2: Fantastic Worlds had a MOO2 Scenario in it. Civ 2: Test of Time had a sci-fi mod that was also pretty cool. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I once asked Amazon to e-mail me when they had MoO2 back in stock. That was almost a year ago, and I haven't heard another word about it since.

[Edit] Found the e-mail from Amazon that said they'd tell me when it's in; it's been longer than I realized.

mlmbd, what Amazon's Web site claims it has in stock doesn't always match what they actually have in the warehouse. I got the e-mail saying they'd tell me when MoO2 came in after I tried to order it from them; I think that the site had that same "usually 1-2 business days" claim when I tried to buy it a year ago.

Re: Any One Here Still Play
 

I reinstalled MOO2 about a month ago and actually played for a weekend. It's still amusing.

Let's see, recently I was playing and modding MTW got the patch and then got sick of it.

Since then, I purchased the PTW expansion for CIV3. It's alright but a bit of a rip at the price they're asking. I don't mind paying something for upgrades but, imho, this expansion was a rather low value for dollar. If you haven't been sucked into paying 30 bucks for it yet, wait until you can get it for about $15 or less. Imo, that's about what it's worth.

I am now hoping MOO3 doesn't bite too much.

I am really looking forward to Hearts of Iron. I have EU and EU2 and they were both pretty good entertainment for a bit.

Re: Any One Here Still Play
 

I played STARS & BOTF, BOTF was fun, but theres to many limitations so its off my system & into the closet shelf.STARS was very good ,But it has the same Limitations, but i do like how the mining system /patrol works. Never player MOO 1-2.Heard thru games domain needs to be patch & patch etc.So im confused if i should look into it.

for your enjoyment....

Subject: MOO2 or Sex ? Which is better
From: burcity1@ix.netcom.com (Craig Wood)
NewsGroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.strategic

So which one is better - Master of Orion II or Sex ?

Master of Orion II can go on for days - from 10:00 am Saturday to 4:00
am Monday for example.
Sex will usually Last for an hour at the longest.

MOO2 games are always possible if the computer is free.
Sex is possible only if your partner is free and "in the mood".

You can play MOO2 with a group of friends.
Most of us can't/don't have sex with a group of friends.

After you're done having sex, you have to wait a while before starting
a new sexual encounter.
After you're done playing MOO2, you can start a new game immediately.

If MOO2 doesn't work right, Simtex will patch it within weeks.
If sex doesn't work right, it takes years of therapy to change that.

If you're caught cheating at MOO2 people laugh at you.
If you're caught cheating at sex, it results in fights, divorces and
huge monetary losses.

If you have sex alone, people think that's disgusting.
If you play MOO2 alone, people think that's OK.

You can play MOO2 over the internet with someone 2000 miles away.
You have to be in the same room to have sex.

You can get AIDS, or other STD's by having sex.
You can get mouse shoulder from playing MOO2.

If you're repulsive you can still play MOO2.
If you're repulsive you probably are still a virgin.

You can eat a sandwich and have a drink while playing MOO2.

You can play MOO2 with exotic aliens.

When you're done having sex, you have to bathe, and change the sheets.

BUT :

It's fun to have sex while drunk/with someone who's drunk.
The CP's will beat you up even on average if you play MOO2 while
drunk.

It's more fun to have sex in unusual and strange places.
It's very difficult to play MOO2 other than at the computer desk.

If you're creative during sex your partner will love it.
If you're creative during MOO2 people call you a wimp.

It usually takes a minimum of $50 to have sex (dinner and a movie)
It usually takes a minimum of $1500 to play MOO2 (how much was your
Last PC ?)

You can have sex during a power outage (and it may be more exciting).
