Description of Millennium: Return to Earth
Paragon took some time off from converting paper & pencil RPG to do a good PC conversion of Ian Bird's classic space strategy game for Atari ST and Amiga computers. The game plays as good as it looks, despite below-average AI and mid-game tedium when you just wait for things to happen :)
Still, technologies you can research are creative, as well as the many ship designs you can make. Recommended for Master of Orion veterans who wants a different, light break from their campaign ;)
Too bad the superior (but more difficult) sequel Deuteros was never converted to PC.

plays well online, but none of the downloads from this page work on my Win10 laptop. Pity, but ok as long as i can keep playing online--ie no time limit.

Just curious if I were to make a remake of this do I need any licences or anything else, I used to love this game years ago and think I could make a good version

There IS a remake! It's called "Millennium Remake". It's pretty good, have a look for it.

Used to love this game as a kid. It was highly advertised and hyped back then.
However, when you figure everything, it feels really repetitive and linear. The most underdeveloped part of the game is the defense of your bases. There's such a very simple, obvious strategy that you never really feel threatened by AI attacks at all; they barely do any damage to your bases with this strategy.
Nevertheless, I re-downloaded this game for nostalgia's sake.
