Lately, I have been playing the original Master of Orion using DosBox.
What a great game.
Sword of the Stars by Kerberos looked to moo for inspiration but it's not as good. There just wasn't enough options/features to keep me interested in it. It is prettier but lacking depth in strategic gameplay.
Havent played SOTS yet, but I will probably agree. Reading on their boards made one thing clear: These SOTS devs are not really 4X-Guys, they are just in love with tactical combat. There are several Posts on their board where they dont get it, they just define the 4X-elements they wanna exclude as "no fun".
