Master of Orion.. What a game.. For some reason I liked the first one the best.. Wish it was longer though, bigger map, etc... I could play games like that forever..

Despite i have Master of Orion 2 and enjoy it, i continue to keep coming back to Master of Orion more often.

I believe the simplicity of the gameplay that in fact lead to a deeper game that one would think is always unmatched in the 4x genre.

The only problem of MoO1 is that it does not feature a multiplayer option.
But on board like the Master of Orion dedicaced forum on civfanatics.com, you can always find people playing challenges or succession games that are very nice to play to compare with how other people are faring in those.

The AI in MoO1 is very challenging, and the incredible thing with it is that it succeeds in challenging you without even cheating.
Diplomacy is a valid option thanks to that (and making your enemies fight with each other by bribe, framing them etc... is a very interesting way to secure your borders)

For me too, Master of Orion is much superior to any other empire strategy game ever made, because it is the only one where you don't end up being bogged in a micromanagement nightmare.
The macro orientation of the title makes it really enjoyable during the whole game, and allow you to focus on the big picture. Too bad there is no multi (I'm not so sure about the AI not cheating though: it seems to get some tech bonus in impossible).
