How can I install this game? The install-program tells me to insert a disk into the drive i'm installing from. if i don't install it dosbox tells me to install it. so what's left to do? :wall: :wall:

Forget instalation. Just unzip the zip file and run dosbox, then mount.... change directory... and type ORION.EXE count down 3 2 1 and enter then ohhh noooo I can't believe it.... :rifle: :tomato:

Hello:
Does anyone of you know if MOO2 is abandoned? It'd be great to enter one day and find it right here on abandonia. One of the best strategy games ever made in my opinion and superior to ascendancy so far.
...but maybe it's not abandonware yet.
Bye

While both are nice game, the ONLY thing that Ascendency has that is superior to Masters of Orion is Graphics.

Actually, I for me think it's more a matter of taste, as personally I feel Ascendancy is at least more fun then MoO.
I found the games in MoO too short for my tastes; my regular MoO game lasts for about three or four days, seriously stretching it, where I can stretch an Ascendancy game for almost two weeks.
Besides that (or maybe underlying that) I personally found Ascendancy to be generally more immersive, more gratifying and generally offering greater rewards the MoO. As such, for example, I found MoO actually ending very frustrating.

Should I seek shelter now? :tomato:

Great game, wasn't expecting it to be this good

Anyways, I've downloaded DosBox to use with all my older games, but I've got one problem: Moo runs waaaa-yyy too slow. I've tried adjusting the CPU cycles (CTRL-F12/F11) in DosBox.. Still slow. is there anything else I could try?

You have to play with ctrl f11 and f12 to find the right speed. I am sorry I forgot the exact number, somting around 15000-16000 but I am not sure if the right speed for my computer would work fine for yours too. If you have any question juet just let us know. I am master in master of orion.

What the hell you are saying!!!! MOO is too higer to could be compared with Ascedancy. The ship design is magneficant and sometimes you have to design a specific ship to could punish a specific race which uses a special ship design. Computer just play enough good and smart to put you in serious trouble most of the times and you have to have your own strategy, diplomacy, etc to could handle a difficult situation....

Well you are right. Everybody has its own opinion. In fact I don't understand why I argued about his comment too, because I have never played the other game very seriously. MOO, I played it a lot. Sometimes it is matter of taste too. Now lets have a beer :cheers:

I'm all for that :cheers: !
