Linux version is MUST HAVE !
Do you read about Windows 10? It`s a US-spy operation system only! Do you have one?
Now at all world, only linux/ubuntu protected you info, accounts, and money... :(

I am a huge fan of the Master of Orion series. MOO2 was my favourite, but I played them all, a lot, starting with StarLords and MOO and then the ill-fated MOO3. Somewhere along the journey I learned that Master of Magic existed, got a copy and loved it --my playtime in MOM easily equals the thousands of hours I must have put into MOO2.

I played them all in MS-DOS in its day, then in Windows95, and then in DOSBOX when I shifted to GNU/Linux. I still play MOO, MOO2 and MOM, occasionally, because I can get them to work easily with DOSBOX. I can't play MOO3, however, which is a pity because despite the poor general result, it had some nice ideas in it.

I would definitely help fund a good, proper MOO sequel, but going back to Windows is for me a non-negotiable issue. In today's world, a port to GNU/Linux should not be nor hard to accomplish, and as someone pointed out, the fans of the saga who are in my situation might amount to quite a lot.

Moo is one of the best computer games of all time. But if this doesn't include Linux support I would be happy to keep playing the original in DosBox. Windows will never take up space on any of my hard drives again.

+1 for a linux version.

I have just started using linux mint and i am loving it so far and would seriouly like to get rid of windows. Only problem is the bulk of my games are holding me back so am dual booting at the moment.

Either way cannot wait to purchase.
