    Turn based army fighting would have saved this one.

    If you loved it in it's original, then you'll be happy to know it's the same but modern and great looking.

    An almost 100% faithful port from the 1989 classic. Those who remember the original should love this. The only complaint is the clearly console-type interface with *heavy* emphasis on button mashing.

    I actually have the original on C64 (yes, I still have the C64 as well) and bought the remake for PC.
    I'm overly disappointed, because of the controls.

    For me, this basically killed the experience, so while the original game would be 8 or 9/10, specially because of the replay-rate, this remake with the controls ruined.

    I can't honestly recommend it. Get an old Amiga or C64 and play this game there and witness the difference.    … Expand

    Accurately recreating the same tactics and mini-games that motored the original software so many years ago, nostalgia buffs and open-hearted genre freaks should immediately take notice.

    Essentially a turn-based series of minigames. It's deeper and more enjoyable than you might expect from that description, but ultimately it gets somewhat repetitive and can be completed rather quickly and easily.

    A trip down memory lane for anyone pining for the original, but without strategic and gameplay enhancements, it's just a poor game by 2003 standards.
