Master of Orion
I’ve been playing the recent remake of MASTER OF ORION, and I really like it. I think it captures the spirit of both the first game and MASTER OF ORION 2: BATTLE AT ANTARES while sanding off some of the rough edges of the micromanaging. The modern graphics and sound are nice.
How much do I like the MASTER OF ORION series?
I still have the manual from the original game, which I got as a Christmas present back in 1995.
Of course, this was back when computer software came in big cardboard boxes with printed manuals (and sometimes a stack of six or seven floppy disks), which seems hopelessly archaic by modern standards. 🙂
But if I ever write another science fiction novel, it will be a combination of what I liked about MASTER OF ORION, STAR WARS, and METROID.

Could you provide a specific title on the game? Huge fan of both MoO and MoO2. Many remakes/copies/etc. out there and most miss the mark.
Been debating lately getting MOO2 classic on steam…
Here is the version I am playing:
