I'll get to each one separately and explain why I feel it gets a full star or not. Now I can get into great detail with everything about this game, but this is just a quick review of the game. If you would like to know more just let me know in the comments below. Plus I will also be posting links to some other great resources.
The one thing I do have an issue with on these older games is trying to find an ESRB rating. I can never find them. Also, I am still working on the Master Of Magic Tip & Tricks. It is taking way longer than I expected. MUCH longer! I also have one started for this, and my first post for Mr. Beard Adventures in Eorzea is ready, but I will be starting that post weekly and post them on Mondays. Let's see, what else! Oh right! I also have two no parents guides to gaming ready that I need to finish today and publish! I am also starting a Top 5 Weekly list as well. Plus I have a how to make money gaming guide I am working on. So much to do an so little time! Well, that is an update of things to come. Let's get this review done!

Story

"By the beginning of the 23rd century, ten races had emerged with the technology necessary to colonize deep space. For nearly a century, population growth on all planets had outstripped planetary resources, and soon all the races were forced to expand and discover new worlds to colonize. As history has proven time and time again, unrestrained expansion inevitably leads to war. Even though each race is very different from the others, all have legends of a master race that once controlled the galaxy. It is said that the Masters left behind a world that contained marvellous secrets and powerful technology. The loremasters call it Orion and it is written in legend that he who masters Orion masters the universe. Master of Orion is a competitive game of interstellar conquest that combines exploration with conflict. You are cast as the immortal emperor who shapes the future of your race, as contact is made with the neighbouring races. Your objective is simple: control a majority of the known galaxy and eliminate all who stand in the way. As ruler you must ultimately decide the destiny of your race as you make decisions on how planetary resources are allocated, where star fleets will be deployed, which races to fight, and which races to ally with. You begin with control of your home planet, from which you can explore and colonize nearby star systems. Your first decisions will centre around the rapid development of colonies into productive worlds, what types of technology to focus on, and which star systems to colonize. However, the true challenge begins when contact is made with other races, and complex strategies must be formulated to manage diplomacy, sabotage, espionage, trade, and interstellar combat."So I do not know if that is really useful at this point. I may end up doing a small project like I am with Mr. Beard's Adventures with some of these old school games as well. I am really enjoying doing that. Overall because I only seem to find the story in the manual I gave this half a star.

These older games like this truly were amazing games. They always went above what people expected out of them. Yeah, some had flaws and glitches, but look at the lengths and boundaries they pushed. I will enjoy this game for years to come still. These games to me are just that fun. Yeah, I do get bored with them after a while, but the best part is I can always come back to it, and it will feel like a new game with a sense of familiarity. I do hope you all enjoyed this review and I hope you all have a very explorative day!
