The sheer work that went into these games.

Nothing quite like hard-panned amiga audio to clear your sinuses :D

Every time I played this game there was someone in the team talking bad about me with the others. I guess I wasn't a good leader as a teen.

Loved this game. The main base seemed to be the only base well defended. I used to get by with 3-4 main planets maxing them out. The others I just terraformed , then jacked up the tax to max and let it de-populate. Once you get nuclear fuel upgrade (unlimited fuel) concentrate on training max troops, then go ham on enemy base.

I remember playing this game with my older brother back in the day. We never made it through though. For some reason the Platoon Leader had been killed by someone in the team, every single time. I heard that this was a unique copyright protection but we have had the original version. I know that we also used the 10 minute Power Nap, as soldiers wouldn’t consume food during that time. We read this hint in an Amiga Magazine. P.S. The guy doesn’t know how to utilise the grenades well during a firefight.

I remember playing this game as a child. It took me a long time to figure out, but I eventually did it. Good memories

I remember getting stuck on the horses teeth I didn’t realize you had to read to it

I love it. Thanks. What a restgame.

Played it back in the 90s, loved it.

I think you need to have a whole consular army (6000 infantry 600 cavalry) to succeed in negotiation with Arabia with 1. diplomat, 2 agressive, 3 offer an alliance

Ive always adored this game, have never been able to finish it oddly enough

Loved the game, especially the sniper section. Seeing that brief muzzle flash & finally nailing him was SO satisfying! I'm shocked by the poor spelling & grammar in the "win" message on completion - never noticed that at the time 😮

It’s interesting to know that either Sid or Razor was canonically one of the original kids in Maniac Mansion, due to the….”mysterious disappearance” of Ed’s hamster.

the end of game message is the complete opposite stance the call of duty franchise is taking this day

I love the fact that guy who can make this game through in 30 minutes don't bother proper landing. Now i feel better because i always felt it's impossible to land properly :D

The excesive dificult of this games make it lake of playing hours...but it remains in the memory like a great amiga game with high graphic ans sound capacity,.

(for Atari ST, which is probably the same) If you are behind by the time the fusion reactor upgrade is developed for the battlecruisers, the enemy has already expanded and scaled strength so it's possible he can bring strength back to Enemybase faster than you can buy platoons. (What might put you behind is the radiation event making one of the 2 tax planets uninhabitable, or the two meteor events). The AI aims to replenish Enemybase to 32K and then launches attacks (by committing a % of each planet's surplus), so if an attack starts before your platoons are ready you are on a wrong trajectory. What to do is to keep 4 platoons on the tax planets, reducing to 2 then 1 as his attacks become less frequent. Out of the 5-or-6 battlecruisers carrying the platoons to strike Enemybase, split three of them (12 platoons) off and whilst on the way to attack Enemybase, each time, stop off to conquer one enemy planet and reduce its population to zero. By the endgame, some of his planets may be carrying 10k strength but 12 platoons will beat this easily and the survivors (maybe 150 troops in each platoon) can continue to the strikes on Enemybase. The advantage of this way is divide-and-conquer - that 10k enemy strength is defeated more easily by outnumbering it, and it can't contribute to (fluidly/daily) reinforcing Enemybase between your strikes. Reducing the enemy from 24 planets to 16 might reduce available reinforcements by 33%, so if he's replenishing 10k this tactic might reduce it by 3k - - - but in practice it's much faster and that's because the combat is like an exponential function. If Enemybase's strength starts reducing at all it will usually only need 1-4 additional strikes of between 16 and 22 platoons. Over so many hours, I'd recommend 4 farms on the tax planets and 6 on Starbase! the mines there will no longer be needed for anything.

I love the hand drawn art and environments, the typical 90s sounding music also gives it character.

this game creeped me out

the memories 🙂

I never made it so far, thanks for playing. 🙃

We’ll see if this gets to GOG under Ziggurat Interactive.

I was 18 in 1993. The magic back then was the best. Nothing like it exists now. Moment in time to be cherished.

the most serene war game of all time?

The voice acting in this game was probably the best you could hear thirty years ago

one of the greatest game ever.. It was great time do be a kid than and enjoy lucas arts advanture games

Nice Crowbar. Yeah I know. Nice Crowbar. Yeah I know. 😂

I gave this game maybe 10min then I was bored out of my brains

Played the heck out of this on my C64. Bought it for my Amiga years later and was surprised (disappointed) that it doesn't make much extra use of sound. In fact there's hardly any sound at all! Still, fun to play and so was "Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders".

PRINCE OF PERSIA is so legendary and inspiring, i still have it for my Amiga 500 as The Hit Squad release box version 😺👍🕹️.

I still have MANIAC MANSION for my Amiga 500 as the Kixx XL release box version 😺👍🕹️. "Don't be a Tuna Head!" 😹👍🕹️

I played DUCKTALES a lot on my Amiga 500 back in 1990's and 2000's 😹👍🕹️. I'm 40 years old and still play the original hardwares of the Commodore 64 (tapes / disks / cartridges) and Amiga 500 😺👍🕹️.

Could never finish it past the first village that was it

Mitch Murder brought me here.

Mail it to Syberia :)

it's just so luck-based. I wish they had invented some strategic rules for alliances (like getting more info about their attitude, bribing the leader, ...)

Best game music ever made, i love this tune.

I remember seeing the roman amphitheater from centurion on the TV in my friend house, and I couldn't believe how realistic the picture was. In my eyes as a kid it was truly HD best graphics ever

I remember being yards from victory and Gomez dropping a live grenade into my backpack.... WTF!!!?

Oh, to be fourteen and carefree again.

😇😇😇😻

Still as funny and as awesome as when was first released

13 24

I have the triangular box version! I bought it the day it came out on floppy and then a week later the cdrom was out but the guys let me swap it and pay the extra, my mistake was opening it! I'd already completed the floppy version at this point Still in as new condition, I keep it in a cupboard ha ha ha but one day I will put it in a case

I remember this game quite vividly. I had no idea what I was doing. Awesome that you even added a little guide here. Good work!

Jesus christ! Slow down!

Jesus I finally found this game after so many years I don't know how old I was I want to say 5 or 6 but man the memories I'm 31 now

Finally a version of the intro that has the music properly synced with the rest of the audio

1:01:45 Not only does this take place at the same hour and minute number, but those two numbers Bernard mentions (101 and 999) are both the non-emergency and emergency police numbers in the UK.
