Master of Orion 2 - The Best Space Strategy Game in 1996

Master of Orion 2 PC game - More explanation screenshots

Master of Orion 2 is truly one of the greatest games for all times. I vote it to be included in future history books. Also this game, along wit some others, inspired me to undertake my idea to create fun education games. I'm far from creating such wonder of course. Many years after I have played it for the first time, i realized that I know a lot of names of the explored stars by our astronomers. So practically this game is also educational. Money hex address in Orion 2 is 0001AA3C.

Civilization 2 - 103 Cities Big Screenshot

Civilization 2 Gold PC Game - More explanation screenshots

Civilization 2 is no doubt one of the best turn based strategy game. One of the most exciting part of old civilizations, like Civ 2 Gold, is that we can make a lot of cities. Not that Civilization 5 is bad, but playing with 7-10 cities is like playing for the day. The adventure of expanding is somehow cut off. Now can you find all the 103 cities of the orange player? Here is a huge map with all cities from civilization 1.
