Indeed. As the old joke goes, "'What is the definition of a camel?' Answer - a horse designed by committee." |

Wow! If I were Infogames management, I would change the name after this fiasco.

Re: Moo3 is a shareware now
Er...that was tongue-in-cheek, right?  Infogrames actually DID change it...to Atari!
They pretty much would rather be associated with the new Enter the Matrix game than MOO3. lol

You mean they made Sim Galaxy instead of MoO3 ?

Re: Moo3 is a shareware now
They made a SIM Galaxy that plays the game for you, and they forgot to give you a front row seat.

The one game I have in mind as a good RTC game was RoboSport ...

Thanks! I was looking for this game awhile back but I couldn't recall the name. I agree, this was a fun game. However, I'd say it is better described as a hybrid of real time and turn based. |
