GOG Gets Outcast, Master of Orion 1 & 2; Blood Coming Soon
by Alice O'Connor, Apr 20, 2010 6:31am PDTVirtuous virtual vintage video games vendor Good Old Games today added PC classics Outcast and Master of Orion 1 & 2 to its catalogue, priced at $5.99 each.
Simtex's celebrated galactic conquest strategy Master of Orion inspired the coining of the term '4X'--explore, expand, exploit and exterminate--in 1993 with its delightful blend of research, diplomacy and combat. The first sequel, Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares followed in 1996 and is also bundled with the $5.99 bargain pack.
Appeal's 1999 voxel-powered action-adventure introduced the world to Cutter Slade, one of the world's great forgotten hero names. It was also a jolly good open-world romp.
The digital distributor's streak of Atari acquisitions will continue on Thursday with Monolith's gory shooter Blood in a $5.99 bundle pack 'One Unit Whole Blood' with its 'Plasma Pak' and 'Cryptic Passage' addons, while Master of Magic is also due "soon."

there have been innovations here and there in other games (i particularly like the randomized tech tree in sword of the stars) that i miss when i play moo2, but in every case the games that produced those innovations fall short in other areas (real-time, no tactical combat, no ship design, its always one thing or another) so i wind up coming back to moo2 time and again.
