I haven't played Master of Orion. Were the later sequels as good as the original?

Some heretics claim that MoO2 was the better game than MoO1. (Personally I think that it was a good 4X game, but that it didn't reach the quality of the timeless original. You won't waste your time giving it a try, but I think MoO1 was the better one.)
The one thing every single MoO player can agree on is that MoO3 was an utter disaster full off unnecessary micromanagement, unnecessary removal of beloved races like the catty Mrrshan, and general awfulness. Do not even try it ironically to have ironic fun about how shitty it is.

RPG: Marvel Super Heroes (TSR) in the Original Basic edition. One of the very few games to be successful in capturing the super hero genre, and at the same time extremely fun, accessible and concise.
Vidya: Master of Orion 1. The one I keep coming back for, and the one that never gets old as the random factors (such as the forced gaps in the tech tree, or the swinging personalities of NPC races) make every game of it wildly different. The only thing - other than the dated graphics and sounds, and some UI clunkiness - that could really be improved are the diplomacy options (i.e. give a way to ask another race for befriending/allying with a 3rd race, and a way to directly declare war).
