If it helps, it's pronounced "Way-back" machine.

Yes yes, like we need another of your Fractured Fairy Tales!

That is, in fact, the MOO in question...

I really enjoyed that game, and MoM, back in the day. But Age of Wonders stole the spotlight from MoM for me, and Sword of the Stars has taken the spotlight from MOO for me.

But the nostalgia is awesome.

I still play Master of Magic. I freaking love that game. I almost always made a custom character and chose a combo of life and sorcery spells, and what was the other one....earth magic? The one that gave you war bears

It's been so long, I don't remember, but it was a frickin' fun game. I tended to do Life and Fire I think...nothing says "hello" like a meteor swarm on your opponents capital...

Age of Wonders (and it's two sequels) are very much spiritual successors to MoM, and I really enjoyed their storylines as well.

MOO2 was the ultimate turn-based space strategy computer game for its time, and even had network and hot seat multiplayer.

MoM was Civilization with wizards, monsters and epic spells.

They were great games, but can be a nightmare to get running on modern computer systems because of their age.

So very, very true. DOSbox does a fairly good job. We actually have an old 486 around here somewhere that we have held on to just for old games. It's funny, when we get it out and set it up every now and then dshai and I fight over who gets the 486 when we go downstairs at night. LOL

I don't think I ever played Master of Magic I should go look around for it online sometime. Oh and hi hivers!

Oh yeah and I DOSbox the original Xcom game sometimes. Autopsy results in whee!

 

[Aurora]

Yeah, I've never understood this. It irritates me to no end.

What do you mean you can't find 640k of ram! I have TWO FREAKING GIGABYTES! GET IT TOGETHER! Grrrrr.

Not that I'm bitter or anything. :\

Or how about the "Not enough EMS"

 

[Aurora]

What?

*innocent*

HA!

Something tells me I should get that reference but I just cant think of it.

You ned a Wayback machine just to get that reference.

When did they come out?

 

[hafrogman]

HA!

Yeah, I'm still not sure why the women don't buy this one. I guess I just have a different experience than most.
