Master of Orion 3 Released

Kintaro writes "The long awaited Master of Orion 3 is now in stores. The reviews so far have been unusually mixed, but rest assured the game is still complex - in fact that seems to be a recurring complaint among those that don't like it. And as an added bonus, the game actually runs on Linux right out of the box."

    ...and it was months before Jerdie was seen or heard from again. 100 days later, a friend finds Jerdie--hair down to knees, pasty-white skin, and 1000-yard stare--emerge from the house, blinking in wonder at the fiery orb up in the blue, blue sky. :)
