Reunion
DOS version
Wonderful game, very addictive !
The Good
The graphics are good, you choose your own path.
The game has many different sides;
build, think, explore, research, war !
It has every aspect a game should have.
The game has a nice GUI, it is VERY addictive, I just HAD
to finish it..
The Bad
Well, first of all, the load and save button should be switched :)
Since you have to do the game "right", if you make a mistake in the beginning
you end up regretting it in the end, I saved-and-loaded , a LOT...
Anyway, the buttons should be switched, i ended up loading my game instead
of saving it, sometimes, which is VERY annoying;), okay my own fault
but you click it that easy:) no confirmation or anything:)
Actually, there are no things that i didn't like about the game itself, except your commanders .. they simply SUCK ... all they have to say is "Get more products", "We need more money", "You need to build a satellite, if you wish to explore other planets".. erhm .. DUH ! :)
Also i think it sucks , the aliens can only contact you, you should be able to contact them as well.. I ended up fighting some race which i hadn't even spoken to yet:)
Oneother bad aspect about the game is it's annoying me all the time
about building a new hospital .. you keep on building new ones,
even on New-Earth i had about 5 hospitals (!) and they kept annoying me
to build more;) ... Also i think they might just have to speed up the building
a bit.. it takes way to long to build ships/troopers and stuff..
The Bottom Line
You begin in your 'space station', choose some commanders, and start working!
First of all, you HAVE to read the manual while playing .. if you don't
you'll regret it, because you most probably are going to have to restart the whole game ;)
Good.. you start reading the manual, find out some stuff, and start building on your home planet, soon, you discover an alien race .. on planet Jade .. they contact you.. choose your own path .. declare a war to them, or make peace , help each other .. get new research data (I suggest make peace to them, they get destroyed anyway:)
Well, as soon as you discover your controls, the game really starts to get interresting, exploring new galaxies, new planets .. building new colonizations, meeting new alien races .. From this point, you're already addicted to it..
The game includes nice graphics, long gameplay, cool wars, unexpecting aspects...
This is the best DOS game i have EVER played, I do not suggest playing it though, if you haven't got many time.. It is VERY addictive ;)
Try it, read the manual and play the game ... Thank me later :)
Buy it !
