OT: Dusting Off Imperium Galactica II

[Karibu]

Sad, but I have to agree with Roanon. Before MOO3 was shipped to stores, I read in the forums when some people had memories of BattleCruiser 3000. I have never played it but when several players wrote that the most fun time with that game was when they broke the CD on the pieces, it told me something.

I had not such feelings with MOO3, but I was disappointed with it. However, it had potential which was never achieved. Too much ambition mixed with poor project management (right out from the horse's mouth, the game developers) and lack of resources --> half completed game with some great aspects in it but not fully shaped. Where is ELITE when I need it...

Yes, I think "unfinished" is the best single word for MOO3. Even the patches are unfinished! There are just so many flaws and gotchas in the whole thing that you can't catalog all of them. I'm just about to give up on the game I am trying to finish. I had to try to complete a game, but it's become nothing but a chore to go back and play a few more turns. Guess I may as well recover the ~500 megabytes of disk space and accept that there isn't going to be any further patching.

For me that word should be "boring"!
Most the time, surprised myself just clicking "next turn", after became tired to deal with the viceroy...

They all fit.

I think Aaron said it best though: "I am a programer and I couldn't even figure it out."

Nuff said.

You are really naughty with the best excel spreadsheet simulator ever made.

Calling Moo3 a spread sheet is still giving it far to much credit.

Well, after they published those 2 patches, they directed their creative skills into another coding project with US military (this is true, you can read this form the MOO3 forums)... Seems that in couple of years the rest of the world don't have to worry about US generals either (no offence to US military intented by this post).
