Trivia
Star Lords was SimTex's first project which they submitted to publishers until Microprose made an agreement with them. The game was significantly revamped and evolved into Master of Orion.
The guys from SimTex have been trying to get a game with the name "Lords" in it published (commercially) for many years now, but have never been successful. Star Lords was renamed Master of Orion, and a game called Mech Lords and then renamed Metal Lords was never published by New World Computing, since SimTex had been bought out by MicroProse. Not to be discouraged, SimTex alum Ken Burd was working on a game called Mage Lords as of 2001!
