Then check the files inside the folder. Are any set to Read Only?

Sorry, should've specified, the folder is the only thing marked read only. None of the files within are marked as such.

Move the MOO directory to C:\OLDGAMES\ and adjust the mounts accordingly.

Still no sound. I just don't understand what the problem could be, I've tried all the sound drivers, and setting the orionbox.conf file to emulate different sound devices, I just can't understand why it wont work.

[The Fifth Horseman]

Try Sound Blaster Pro 2 and IRQ 5.

Also, are there any batch (BAT) files in the game directory? Try running them.

I loved Masted of Orion III. Calling it a poor attempt to revive the game is an understatement.

for some reason i could not find on the zip file any .gif file for the copyright protection (and yes i did buy this game and all its sequels into MOO3 at which point i shook my head at yet another weak continuation in the same way as Machievelli was last made, so technically this is me trying to find the purchased original and not a copyright infringement) see http://www.jonsullivan.com/misc/ships_1b.gif for the necessary reference.

Playing MOO again is a pure pleasure... funny how in 2008 i find myself going back 10 years for great games...

And to whomever Jon Sullivan is, you are on my heroes list! Gratis! :thumbs:

Someone had asked why moo3 stank.
I asked the same question when it came out.
To my understanding it went something like this...

Managers: "Is the game ready yet, we're past our deadline"
Game programmers: "No, it won't be finished for another six months, and we're running out of money".
Managers: "Just stick a fork in it, its done, we'll see you next week and place it into production".

So they slapped together what they had already built, marketed it, and sent it out, several patches were soon to follow, the ai fix patch, the tech patches, the new tech patches, and several others I don't remember or likely don't care about.

However the game had already lost its popularity, thoughts for moo4 were scrapped and thusly the series reached its end.

This is basicly what I had read in an article reveiwing the game many moons ago, I was probably baked then too...

Its a shame really that such a lucrative franchise had to eat dirt, but everything dies, now if only final fantasy, dynasty warriors rtk, mortal kombat, ut, quake, c&c...
