Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.167
The music at the start of the game brings chills every time i hear it. The gameplay with its time slow or speed up mechanics mAkes it really challenging. The evolution of your structures is pleasing and hearing the iconic 'they've nuked us' is still a blast. Such unusual gameplay must be preserved. As for the samurai, graphics, music and playability makes it a worthy candidate for a vote.
Mega-lo-mania was one of the first games I played using the mouse on the MS-DOS! It is the oldest tower defense ever, as far as I remember! I spent hours and hours developing my civilization and attacking others!
The best part was the huge difference it made developing your people's tech: sometimes you would attack an enemy with airplanes, when all they had to defend themselves were bows and arrows!
