Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares by MicroProse
Subjugating alien races has never been this fun and easy! In Master of Orion II, the sequel to one of the best space strategy games ever, up to 6 players can fight for control of the galaxy on TEN. Explore uncharted star systems, colonize planets, build and manage a colonial empire, and vaporize anybody who stands in your way. Master of Orion II is the ultimate "control freaks" game: you choose from over 200 technologies for your scientists to research, design and outfit your own ships; fight detailed tactical battles; and even design your own alien species. It's everything you loved about MOO but bigger, deeper, more flexible and--with its Super VGA graphics--sexier!

90MHz Pentium 16MB RAM VESA Local Bus or PCI SVGA video card
