Master of Orion 3 Released

Posted by michael on from the master-of-the-cash-register dept.

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."

    I can stop wondering when it will come out, and finally have my wife deny letting me buy it.

    What a fantastic quote. They should slap that on retail boxes for linux software every where.

    I was 'fortunate' enough to be a beta tester for this game, and I was extremely disappointed with the game. Simply put, there are fundamental issues here.

    I highly recommend that people read the review at http://www.quartertothree.com

    From this tester's perspective, that review is the clearest picture of what I feel is wrong with MOO3.

    too bad

    I'm picking it up tonight on my way home :-)

    ...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. :)
