Civ was the prototypical "4X" turn-based strategy game, where the X's stand for "EXplore, EXpand, EXploit and EXterminate". Trying various strategies was endless entertainment for me.
The one that really got me hooked, though, was Master of Orion, which added the fun of designing the starships for your fleet for maximum micromanaging nerdalicious fun.
How tickled was I to get it loaded and up and running on my clamshell iBook last week?
Pretty darn tickled, let me tell you.
Let me conquer this galaxy and then I'll give you a retro book report!

Long time lurker, first time commenter. Yes, Masters of Orion rocked for those of us of a certain age. I wore out the CD for MOO3. I was so excited when I rediscovered it on Steam. For really nerd tinkering, you can still modify the specs of game components directly in those spreadsheet-like support files!
