well the game was considered unplayable until a patch came out a few months later.  At release it had an adverage rateing of about 5.5/10.

I remember the days of being 8 years old and playing Master of Orion on my ancient Power Mac. Those were good times.

Ah...the snes(still my favorite)... but not the topic... MOO3 is posiibly one of the greates warcraft or starcraft type(sorta) sim games out there, I used to play it for hours on end, day after day after day, then my i book broke down,,, i havent been the same since, but i did not know the hardships of pre-patch moo3, i my brother got the patch as soon as i got the game...

If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
