What year did these cease development? Judging from the box art they did alot of old PC games.

2003, apparently.

This is interesting. I wonder why 17 years later they suddenly pop up again?

In any case, it looks like the name has shuffled around a ton, so I doubt it's any of the same people as back in the day.

I enjoyed the original Xcom, and Master of Orion.

I just couldn't get into the new Xcom games (guess I'm just not bored enough to enjoy the repetition anymore?) Master of Orion 3 does not exit.

The new xcom games really messed up that old xcom feel, like shoot being hit or miss with little chance of hitting anyone/thing else, aliens roaming and activating in squads (removing that hunter/prey mechanic) 2 corrected some of it. I still played and beat them both, but they are by no means as good as the OG.

Bring back Mechcommander, and classic civ games.

Last MicroProse game I bought was Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix 4. Loved the F1GP and F-15 Strike Eagle series. Good to see that the company is going to be back in control of Bill Stealey.

Yes, pretty excited about this. They did a soft launch around January/February, but only had teaser screenshots, and general "were working on new games" comments.

Looks like they have some decent sims in the pipeline, and I hope it works out for them. I'm kind of itching for some middle of the road study sim/casual sim games.

The original was very hard but not frustrating. The new ones are very frustrating but not hard.

The new ones are dressed up mobile games, if you don't believe me, play it on an iPad.

Let's hope they are working on another flight sim.

Falcon 5.0 would be tremendously appreciated.
