Master of Orion vs Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
Master of Orion
Master of Orion is a rather revolutionary strategy game that has coined the subgenre "4X" which represent the four main game elements in Master of Orion - "eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate". Play as one of the ten races available and set off to explore the vast uncharted parts of the galaxy to colonize. The game features a ton of planets and solar systems to explore, various customizable spaceships for you to travel in, more than 75 different researchable technologies and a turn-based gameplay where you are free to decide how you'd like to win, be it through military conquest, technological advancement, diplomatic prowess or other methods.Master of Orion is a gem of a game especially for fans of space-themed strategy games. You'll literally get to control and modify each aspect of your empire building and colonization efforts in addition to building ties to neighboring alien empires in hopes of further fuelling the expansion of your race.
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic is the father of modern post-apocalyptic RPGs and rightfully so. Set in the year 2087 after an all-out nucler war, the game lays out the precedence for games like the very first Fallout game. In fact, from the game itself, you can see some of the similarities. That said, Wasteland 1 is a lot more old-school than Fallout 1 and hence, there are plenty more undesirable aspects, bugs and glitches that may make anyone albeit a hardcore fan to throw up their hands in despair.Nevertheless, Wasteland 1 is still a classic in many ways. It is possibly among the first games with a consequence-driven reactive world, for instance, and it has a party-based system allowing you to recruit people to help you on your quest to find out what's threatening the very survival of the remnants of humanity aside from the usual roving mutants and raiders.
Despite the novelty, we honestly wouldn't recommend Wasteland 1 to anyone who has not played the game before when it was first released... back when games were still primarily text-based. Instead, if you'd like to experience a much better and advanced version of Wasteland 1, you should get Wasteland 2.
