Legacy
Two commercial sequels to Master of Orion have been released, Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares and Master of Orion III. The sequels are significantly more advanced in graphics and sound and feature large differences in gameplay, with some players claiming the original game remains the best version of the three.
In 1997, MicroProse released a Master of Orion "Jr." scenario as part of the Civ II: Fantastic Worlds expansion for Civilization II.
In 2008, Stardock, the creators of the Galactic Civilizations series, expressed interest in acquiring the rights to the Master of Orion series from Atari, Inc. (Infogrames subsidiary) and developing a fourth game in the series.
In 2011, a clone of MoO II, "Starbase Orion," was published by Chimera Software, LLC for the iPhone.
The game setting has been the influence of Russian writer Sergey Lukyanenko's trilogy, the Line of Delirium.
