How can we lobby Infrogames to release MOM 2?

Oooo, I wonder what he's working on.

If I remember correctly, M:TG (video game) came out around the mid-90's whereas MoM came out early 90's or late 80's. Now, Magic itself came out around that time too so maybe it was a close call. Anyone got exact dates for that? I wonder if Magic was ripped off from MoM. Hmmm...

I recently found some good links.

I remember reading somewhere that Richard Garfield was inspired to make MTG after seeing MoM. Might be just urban legend, but who knows?

I want to point out that AoW2 is in the works and coming together nicely. It's MoM2, as far as I'm concerned. (Yes, you _build_ cities...)

I'm beta-testing it now (no, you can't have a copy, nor can I tell you anything that hasn't been made public) and for me, the long quest for MoM2 is finally over.

If AoW2 and Moo3 deliver on their promise, next year will be a spectacular year for TBS. And should the fates decide that QS gets to do a "branded" MoM2 once Moo3 is done then they will have to work _hard_ to top AoW2. Which is just as it should be, of course.

Well, I hope so, but I have my doubts based on how poor and unimaginative the first one was.

I found the first one quite charming, if flawed.

The new one is better. The feedback they got from the fans about their fist effort was basically "it ain't Mom!" and they took it to heart.

But _imaginative_ as such, it won't be. It is the very best post-MoM execution of MoM yet, though. For me, that's enough.
