In Master of Orion it is your task as leader of your species to reinstate the throne of the Galactic Imperium (and make sure your on it) that once ruled over the entire galaxy but fell and was lost to the mists of time. This gives Master of Orion an entirely different flavour. You could say that one takes up where the other leaves off. Most importantly Civilization charts humanities rise throughout the ages to the modern world, Master of Orion is set in among the stars. Exploration, research and diplomacy are all part of Master of Orion as they are of Civilization, but there are also some differences. This is not to say that there are no parallels between the two games. Stephen Barcia, spiritual creator and lead programmer of Master of Orion started work on the program years before and this is testified by the existence of a prequel called Star Lords. After playing for just a few hours you will see just how wrong that belief is.
Released a year after the gaming-world altering Civilization, many believed Master of Orion was nothing more then a Civilization set among the stars. Among them was one game that I would play for months on end from that time forward, Master of Orion. Once again my brother came to the rescue and offered me several 3.5” diskettes worth of games (640K on just one disk? Really?). After unpacking my new trophy and booting her up for the first time I came to the conclusion that I had nothing to run on her.
#MASTER OF ORION 2 SAVE GAME EDITOR PC#
In 1992 the day had finally arrived that I could go out and buy a brand spanking new 486 PC (thanks to a generous last minute gift of my brother, Thanks again Bro’). For years I saved up and did odd jobs on the side so I could buy one of those new monsters. At the age of nine I was given my first ever computer of my own, an old MSX beast that I still have today but even then I wanted more. As a youngster I was fascinated with technology in general and computers in particular.
