I remember this was the first RTS game I ever played. It was a cold wintery Christmas, and my cousins showed me this game after we opened presents on my grandma's computer. The wintery ambient sounds went right with the view outside. The atmosphere was amazing, a desolate land with a small expeditionary force fighting on a remote backwater planet boasting an incredible technology. It is possible that to this day, I have never heard a better game sound track than from this game, the ambient and the active music were amazing. Similarly, even though the 4 playable races were relatively similar the gameplay was fast and intense. The economy was simple; refineries built on energy wells and a power grid to manage building placement, it left your primary focus on unit control, finding and securing additional resources, and base defenses. That's not to say you could forget about the resource management, resources were tight enough that you had to be sure what units and upgrades you choose. The units had many more options like going prone, scattering, auto recon, that no other game of its class had to my knowledge, far ahead of its time. I think this was originally released as a competitor to Star Craft and Tiberian Sun, it was delayed heavily by the original company being bought up and that combined with poor advertising left this as a forgotten gem. I still have the original box, that opened like aboard game and came with a comic about humans fighting to survive in the universe. One of my favorite games for sure.
This was my first RTS experience in my childhood, not Command and Conquer or Starcraft like for most my age. Fun and simple were the order of the day and this game did not disappoint in that aspect. It was perfect for a total RTS amateur or novice to grasp the basics of RTS combat. Once Starcraft came out I was wiping the floor with my friends over BattleNet because I had built up a lot of experience playing this game in particular. Bring it back in a remaster like CnC, please. Not a remake or re-release, but remaster this game's graphics, fix the very few bugs that it had and give it a good strong updated UI that is simple and uncomplicated. A winning formula, keeping it simple is. 'Nuff Yoda wisdom, bring it back, 'nuff said.

I complitely forgot that I played this game when I was a kid. Atomsphere was very captivating for someone who loved Westwood strategy games. One of better games to use C&C formula plus factions have interesting design.

Dominion: SOG3 is at the top of my shortlist of childhood favorites! Some of my greatest middle school friendships were formed over the love of this game. Sure, we played all the awesome classics like the C&C series, Age of Empires, Warcraft, Dune II & 2000, Dark Reign, StarCraft, Total Annihilation, etc... but something about this game was magical. The umbilical system for base building was a fun nuance to me and it's the first time that I really came to appreciate the tactical value of cheap and plentiful vs expensive and durable faction units. The game play was fun and just the right amount of challenging for a pre-teen. It's a good example of a mid to late 1990's RTS with the typical formula: build your base, repel enemy incursions, amass your forces, and steamroll their base (simple, the way I like it). On a personal note- I enjoyed the soundtrack, which, oddly enough, reminds me of my favorite childhood dog. She was sick one day and resting on the couch while I was playing this game. At some point, I paused the game, sat down with her on the couch and comforted her for a while as the music played in the background. As a child absorbed in my own world, it's the first time that I remember being completely focused on caring for another and this soundtrack cements that wonderful memory. It warms my heart to know that this game has touched other lives and left lasting, joyful memories. Bringing this game back would be nothing short of a public service and should be part of every young RTS lover's "basic training". I've only written a handful of reviews in my entire life and I am thankful to have the opportunity to write this one. Please bring this game back, GOG!

I just have to say Yes pleas bring this one to GoG it been over 26 years seen I play this and to be honest 4got all about it. Now seeing this and the hope of playing it again just overwhelms me. I remember now it has 4 army's and all have some special strength and weakness. I was 12 at the time I try to play it was not easy with epilepsy thankfully my older brothers play it with me. This game lead me to War/starcraft, C&C and others. A BLAST from the PAST love to play it again.

Monster Hunter
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises. Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.

Feda: The Emblem of Justice
Feda: The Emblem of JusticeIn a fantasy world, a soldier from the imperial forces deserts after witnessing the massacre of innocent villagers by his unit. He is sent to jail to be executed, but manages to escape with the help of two former unit colleagues. The group flees through the country-side, while being pursued by imperial soldiers. On their way, they join forces with other rebels to fight against the enemy, while uncovering hidden secrets and evil plots by the Empire. Feda: Emblem of Justice is a strategy RPG similar to Shining Force and other titles with preset characters and linear gameplay. The player commands a party of varying size and characters with diverse skills. In the main battle sections, the player and the CPU-controlled enemy take turns moving the troops and giving orders. A menu at the bottom of the screen shows all the possible actions, where soldiers can defend, move, attack, or use an inventory item on each turn. The range of their movements and weapons vary according to their nature. A crossbow character can shoot from the back, while most sword and knife users have to be adjacent to their targets. Magic offensive powers have different ranges as well, reaching enemies that are far away from the attacking character. Health points can be recovered by eating rations or by magic, where a healer can restore points to several characters at once. Each party member has separate health and magic points, as well as other statistics like defense and attack power. They receive experience points after slaying an enemy or casting a spell, and extra points at the end of the battle. Their skills increase after surpassing 100 points. The map screen shows the party and groups of enemies traveling through the landscape in turns. The menu has options for moving the group or camping. In the encampment, one of the characters around the fire pit saves the game, while another inside the tent provides system options to change the interface color, adjust sound volume and rename the party members. In some locations like temples, villages and towns, the party has to explore the place and talk to the citizens to move on to the next section. In later battles, the player has to make a moral choice about attacking mutated humans. At the end of each battle, the party is assigned a dark or light emblem, and certain party members choose to leave or stay in the group based on its alignment.

Ragnarok: Tactics
