Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares (a.k.a. Master of Orion 2 and MOO2) was the first sequel to Master of Orion. Like the original, it was developed by Simtex; Steve Barcia and Ken Burd designed it. The Windows 95 and MS-DOS versions of the game (both on one disc) were published by Microprose in November 1996, while the Apple Macintosh version was published almost a year later by MacSoft.
Although official support has ended, fans have developed a patch which fixes some bugs and adds game set-up options. There are also fan-developed mods for the game that can customise the gameplay.
