Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Brayton Cameron explore, expand, expound, and express their love of Master of Orion II: The Battle at Antares.

Continuing our Winter of Strategy, we now turn our attention to the 4X genre by tackling the king of the genre. Brayton requested MoO2 for the show, and it quickly became clear why. Despite the fact that it came out 18 years ago, it’s completely and utterly engrossing and its systems hold up to this day. Thanks, Brayton.
