    They're also on gog.com for a similar price just in case you're not an impulse user.

      Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
      The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
      The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

        Unfortunately, neither of my computers is compatible with Moo1 (don't have moo2). I don't suppose they fixed that, or the annoying "identify the ships" copy-protection from Moo1? I loved Moo on my ancient Windows 98 PC...

          They run inside DOSBox. In fact, the ones you get on Impulse ship with DOSBos and don't require any additional messing around to work on modern OSes.

            Cool! Anybody know about the copy-protection business?

              Pretty sure there is none.

                MoO2 used to require the CD in the drive, IIRC. Impulse's versions probably don't have copy protection. In any case, there's ways around the copy protection that, while technically ilegal in the US, might let you play the game you bought without all that hassle.

                  The Impulse versions definitely don't check for CD, for obvious reasons.

                    MoO2 had an .ini File which referred to the CD Drive. It did suffice to copy the Complete CD and change that File no Fancy crack needed. (Game would also run slightly better, but with the Machines available today you wont notice )

                      I was thinking specifically of MoO1's in-game check. They'd periodically pop up a window asking you to "identify this class of ship" against a list in the manual. You could get around it by alt-tabbing and looking at a downloaded copy of the list, or printing it out for reference, but it was really annoying.

                        That's crackable. I know the first version of civ1 I played, the copy protection was cracked. In the impulse version, I'm wagering it doesn't even show up.

                          MOO1 on GoG did ask you to identify spaceships from the manual which caused a few problems. Hopefully been sorted now.

                            No, I just downloaded it yesterday and the identify-the-ship rubbish is still there. But I found the GIF online and bookmarked it, so it isn't too bad.

                              But is it still working? The version of Civ 1 I mentioned had the 'name the tech' thing, but any answer was treated as correct...

                                You know, I didn't check. I assumed I got the answer right the first time it popped up and I just clicked something. Maybe, rather than explaining it, they decided to pass it off as a really lame, pointless feature of the game? Anyway, I hadn't played MOOII before so I've been busy with that. +1 research creative democracy low-G=very little challenge, yay!
