Yup...G.O.G. supplied me with Master of Orion I and II and Star Control I and II over Christmas for just a few bucks each. Wonderful source for older games. MOOI would actually play great on an iPhone screen with a tweak or two.
Haha, two bonehead moves of mine this week, this and posting why prices on itunes went up from 99 cents to 1.29. Hehe Thanks! Downloading!
