Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares
Master of Orion II is the best space strategy computer game I ever played. I've been playing this on an off for more than a decade and still got to play now and then.One of my favorite feature is the ability to create your own race with its own set of abilities and to customize your space ships at will.Do yourself a favor an d download this classic.

The best feature in this excellent sequel to Master of Orion is the multiplayer option. Other new features include more than one colony per planet allowed, freighters, heroes for hire, random attacks from the evil Antarans, and more. Defeating the guardian of Orion is still an option, but not a victory requirement. You can also now put colonies on "auto-build" option, and graphics and sound are enhanced substantially. A great underrated sequel to a classic that somehow isn't quite as addictive as the original, perhaps due to the strong "been there-done that" feel that makes it seem like a minor evolution rather than the next big step in turn-based gaming. Still, if you like MOO but want a more "snazzy" graphics and interface, this sequel won't disappoint.
