Yes to this game. Played it a ton on my first decent x486 computer back in the day. Have the CD and can still play it fine, but I'd still love to get a digital only version.

Love this game. Seems like a no-brainer for GOG since Apple pulled it.

I still have my original copy of this game on CD and play it often with the 'antagonizer' patch that the logic factory released. Unfortunately even with 7 races, in war mode in the smallest possible galaxy i win every time within 1000 days :( Unfortunately, the Antagonizer patch is basically just a cheat buff that gives the AI players better stats. The poor AI and lack of multiplayer was what stopped this game from gaining the legendary status of MOO2. I play with DOS box on win7 without any noticeable issues. I was hopeful when the iOS version was released that they would develop it further to it's full potential. I don't have any iOS devices so I was hoping for an Android port, but looks like from what others have said, that they put the whole come back thing in the too hard basket and went home. Crying shame.

loved it! agree with you, should be here. One of the best of that (sub) genre :) <br />another one that needs a lot of work from gog and consumers too perhaps to get it here... that's my guess.

The last I had heard from them in 2013 was that they 'wanted to' but they were too busy with milestones for the QA required at the time. <br /> <br />Unfortunately the company died in 2014, shutting down their domain and no longer updating their Facebook page, and no longer responding to contact attempts. The iOS version has also been pulled from the store and purchase history of everyone who had purchased it. I haven't been able to find anyone involved with the company, so this is probably the last bastion of any chance we'll get to see the game on a purchasable platform.

I would buy this immediately as it went on sale. Love this game and iOS is just not where I want to play.

Literally, I have been trying to find a place to buy this game, and the best I could find was used on Amazon. Ascendancy will be added to my list of purchased games after I find it on GOG.

I just did some digging around the net and found out that Ascendancy 2 doesn't seem to be happening, and that the Logic Factory's website is for sale. I was sorry to hear that, this being one of the childhood gaming pearls I kept returning to. I really hope this game can be resuscitated here on GOG, since it's status as abandonware seems dubious at the moment.

Love it on the iPAD - will definitely buy if it comes to GOG.

Ascendancy is a space-based, turn-based empire builder that reaches out and grabs you right from the start. Unlike other games in the genre requiring hours of play before the good stuff kicks in, this one gets you off to a running start that never slows down. You'll be up to your alien eyeballs in no time, experiencing the thrill of seemingly limitless empire building. Almost every decision and strategy depends entirely on your choices and 'choices' are what makes Ascendancy so terrific. Moreover, the interface is so user friendly you can use both mouse and keyboard without penalty, although using the mouse is quicker. Even the visual effects of the 3D SVGA graphics are a real treat, and the music and digital sound effects are perfect for the game.
For a game that offers so much in the way of strategy and decision-making, you'd think the learning curve would be steep. Not so in this case. Ascendancy is so well constructed you won't need to waste time digging through the manual. The game uses an extensive and comprehensive system of on-line help and offers a complete set of detailed tutorials that cover nearly every thing you'll need to know to get into the action quickly. And 'customization' is a word The Logic Factory took seriously. Not only do you have the incredible choice of mixing the twenty-one possible alien species before beginning, but setting winning conditions is also your call. Since each game uses only seven of the 21 alien races involved in any one game, you can do the math to figure out the astronomical number of possible combinations. Another excellent option is setting the size of the universe -- possibilities range from enormous vast reaches of space (long, involved game), to a tidy little space community (short, quick game). Like most empire-builders, Ascendancy has a technology tree that expands, and the level of detail is astonishing. You'll make hundreds of decisions in the areas of scientific research, production, industrial and resource management, labor allocations, diplomacy and trade, galactic expansion and defense requirements (the mix of colonization spacecraft vs. war ships), military domination or tactical retreat, customization of spaceships and more. Be prepared to invest large chunks of time when playing, because once you're hooked, the level of involvement makes time fly.
But, you ask, aren't there any problems with Ascendancy? A couple of minor gripes like missing dinner because of focused game play or too much space to explore with so little time. As you can see, coming up with legitimate complaints about Ascendancy is tough. From setup through implementation, this is one smooth and enjoyable operation. Ascendancy is one of those rare gems that is extremely easy to learn, yet deceptively difficult to master. Not only is the replay factor nearly unlimited but the added ingredient of wanting to replay Ascendancy is close to a sure thing.

Enjoyment: One of the best, most completely entertaining and engaging space empire builders around.

Replay Value: Unlimited -- until you grow old and die.
Ascendancy is similar to, but nevertheless very different from, Master of Orion. You play one of many races, each with a special ability and special character traits, who set off to explore space, erect colonies (which can each have individual purposes, depending on their raw materials) and engage in battles when you clash with others who have the same goals. Weapons on the ships use power, which has to be supplied somehow.
This game introduces many original concepts, such as the Research Tree - a special scientific display in which discoveries are depicted as icons connected by lines to the 'parent' technological breakthroughs and 'child' ones, similar to the technology advances in Civilization, but presented in a much more visual way.
