Stardock doing Master of Magic 2?

[quantum_mechani]

Check out the poll on thier site: galciv.com

[Jamski]

You got me excited, but MoM2 is not mentioned anywhere on the page you link to

-Jam

[quantum_mechani]

Yes it is, check the cyber poll on the left side. There is also a thread about it on thier forums.

[Jamski]

"Which game would you like to see remade?"

That's not really how Stardock are going to decide their next project is it?

And Microprose won't let go of that tasty licence so easily.

[St Leo]

Tasty?

[Jamski]

Yes, tasty.

The name itself will sell the first 10,000 units. That's tasty enough for me.

Or would you prefer "yummy" ?

-Jam

[quantum_mechani]

I think if they do it they won't use the name, just try to capture the style.

[Skanky Burns]

Way to get hopes up.

[General Ludd]

I'm not sure I would want stardock to make Master of Magic 2. Galactic Civilization was a snore.

It's not that unlikely, the owner of Stardock mentioned on the forums that the poll was 'important' (thread 'New Poll').

no one told you.............its awful news but Microprose is dead - Atari killed it and bought it(hangs head and holds up lighter), so they've got the rights now i guess.

[Jamski]

Microprose still have the rights, even though Atari bought them. It just means that Atari now have free access to all rights held by Microsoft.

Anytime they want to use them, they sell them to themselves for nothing

Call me a dummy, but I can't figure out how to vote in that poll...

Bad typo, bad!

[child of Thor]

a very good typo non the less

Jamski - i know its hard, for those of us who remember those great Microprose days especially. But you sound as if you think Microprose is still an existing company - let it go, it pains me to see such devotion for the deceased

These are sad times, nothing is sacred - a few publishers and consoles rule

If anyone does MoM2 it will be Atari - did you see what they did with Magic the Gathering?
