I enjoyed GC1 immensely, I first got Master of Orion 3 as my first experience with this type of game, but soon after that GC1 came out and I never looked back. That being said,. GC2 was such a huge upgrade over GC1 that I couldn't think of going back and playing the first iteration. Now I never had the inclination to play the campaign, maybe that could be enough to try it but other then that why go back? The visuals and the game play are such improvements over the original that unless you are driven by nostalgia I don't see any reason to go back to the previous generation.
