Do any of you understand this? Unzip the file: Ok, Run the "Install Moo3 Patch.exe:" Ok. About a third of the way through the install, it errors out. This occurs each and every GD time I try it. I have even downloaded the patch from other sources and still I get the error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MOO3 and still get the error. From what I gather a lot of people are getting errors.

Lets face it, if they can't even make a patch that will install, the game is hopeless.

The Patch was quick to download & EASY to install per instuctions. This patch also made this game close to a classic. Without wasting my time revealing all the improvements, just visit the MOO3 websites for all the details.

"The Patch was quick to download & EASY to install per instuctions."

Uh-huh. How come the person you responded to couldn't get it to work then?

Why you asking me? You should be asking him. I think I read somewhere that he returned his cd. (maybe he forgot he needed an installed program to patch, I DON"T KNOW!) Personnaly I don't care, I just stated a fact. Why is it ok to spew nonsense about a game , but not ok to disagree about said nonsense? (btw, "nonsense" is my opinion

)

Friend, the patch that I downloaded was missing files. I had to download it four separate times and finally to get the whole thing I had to download it directly from MOO3 site. Ya I know, anything worth getting is best gotten from the developer. I have never had problems before and can only speculate that my problem was a fluke. Never the less, I did get the patch and yes it did install rather easily. Again as they should. That discussion is now over. On to the Game it�s self.

The game in my humble opinion is actually quite worthless and that is why I chose to uninstall it and send back the disks in peaces. QS, or now the blame is being shifted to Atari (?), got my money and in return ran laughing to the bank. I feel that it is only appropriate that I return their POS game to them and spread the word about how truly awful MOO3 actually is. And I do know what it is I am critiquing friend, one horribly implemented game that just happened to be named Master Of Orion 3.

Your right, this patch did in my opinion make the game a classic. A Classic what I will not post, but never the less it is most assuredly a classic. I just wish they would have fixed the fonts.

I do not mean to offend you, but IMHO MOO3 is not a good game.
