Ascendancy (DOS), while looking cool and polished, is an incredibly easy and unbelievably tedious (in the late game) Master of Orion clone. I somehow had it as kid and loved it. Master of Orion 2 is way better mechanically but I somehow only played that way later. Still remember Ascendancy fondly though.
They made a patch that makes the AI slightly less dogshit, but it's still like hours of busywork to crush enemies that are hopelessly outmatched by any kid's second attempt.
