In this video, I experimented with expanding the original in-game artwork while keeping its authentic style. The untouched versions appear at 46:24 (original resolution: 103ร128).
The music, composed by Michiel van den Bos, is one of my all-time favorite fantasy soundtracks.

I thought it was a nice touch that the 2016 reboot reused the planet colonization theme melody from the first game. Sadly, the game was too buggy on my end. Laura Barrattโs soundtrack for MOO2 added something truly special that tied the whole experience together in a way thatโs very hard to surpass.

The game ran in classic VGA 256-color mode at a native resolution of 320ร200.

Master of Orion 2 (1996) will forever be one of my top favorite 4x games. I loved everything about it and especially the incredible soundtrack by Laura Barratt. Iโve been experimenting with upscaling the old Smacker video files.
Original resolutions: 480x160 and 288x208

I loved how powerful you felt later on with the high-level mage spells. Especially flying above your enemies and calling down meteor showers from the sky.
Ask not how long your game will serve you - ask what must be done to preserve it. ๐น๏ธ๐ก๏ธ

Check out the classic 1993 Fantasy Empires soundtrack by Eric Heberling!
I dug into the game files, extracted the original .XMI tracks, and recorded both the OPL3 and Roland SCC-1 versions.
A hidden gem for fans of DOS game music, D&D, and retro strategy.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
In the right moment everybody can be played. Over the years I had extensive training about cyber security. But when a friend's steam account got hacked and the hacked account sent me a message with a link I fell for it as well (JavaScript Blocker saved the day)
Ultima Underworld was the first game that made me feel genuine terror. ๐ฑ
Whether it was a Headless chasing me through claustrophobic corridors ๐โโ๏ธ
or a Lurker dragging me beneath the water as I desperately tried to escape... ๐๐

This is peak 80s VGM. Spellbound is one of Rob Hubbard's all-time greats.

And the music was perfect, crawling right under your skin with its intense atmosphere.

One of the best SID tunes ever made & still slaps now. If you haven't already checked out Matt's Re:Formation collection, I am sure it is on the @c64audio.bsky.social website - the "modern" version of this tune literally enters space. #C64
