I did not play the original Master of Orion, but absolutely loved the second part. I started focussing on science (namely Psilons) and only later developed a taste for trying out other strategies/races. I often played multiplayer with friends too, and really liked the laid back atmosphere enabled by turn based strategy.

Please go ahead and play the first Master of Orion. It's by far my favourite of the pair. (Make sure you get the latest community patches.) The genius of the first MoO was that it really paired down the tedious busy work. And the tech system works a charm, it's cleverly randomised in a way that's not really possible with the more prevalent DAG based tech trees.

  If you like the first MoO, take a look at Dominus Galaxia.

    Slider-based colony management! Looks like they are staying close to the original. Neat.

  I had a soft spot for Master of Magic. I preferred it to MoM and MoM2.

I once played a multiplayer game in MOO2 with a couple of friends. I went for industry, my one friend went for science, and another wiped the floor with us with his low-tech rock eating silicoids who mated at an insane speeds and colonized every shitty planet and had a huge output everywhere.
