Friendly aliens have offered to help, but in the meantime someone needs to go down there and nuke it back to sleep. For millions of years it slept deep beneath the Earth. The Chicxulub Crater was really an alien of unfathomable crashing after losing an interstellar dogfight. Never got to play much of that back in the day on account of the requirement for a LAN. It's quite good.īolo, the classic top-down, multiplayer tank war game. There's treasure to find, and also madness in pursuing a mirage. There are traders who might have what you need, or they might be bandits. You also have to worry about being taken prisoner by bandits and the cannibals getting closer vs getting to eat, drink and rest while captive. There's quite a bit of strategy as you have to balance traveling at different times of day vs getting tired vs using up food and water vs acquiring more of same vs keeping ahead of the cannibals pursuing you.
You have a camel that makes amusing noises depending on how you're going.
It's a survival game about crossing the desert. Actually come to think of it this goes for early '90s strategy games in general. Same interface benefits as Civ, but you're not giving up anything in the audio department.
I think the interface considerations easily trump the music ones. That Mac version is high quality, but there is not a lot of music compared to DOS and Amiga, and what there is different from those versions. The Mac version, well the saves are just files you manipulate in the usual way in the Finder. The Windows version is equal to the Mac version in this regard, but save management is a nightmare as you're stuck with the Windows 3.0 open/save dialog. The usability with a large monitor is fantastic compared to the tiny resolutions the DOS and Amiga versions are stuck with. It has the highest resolution graphics and uses the native OS widgets, so it scales well to 1080p displays. What you do want to play in classic Mac OS is Civilization 1. That gets you real-time wavetracing that wasn't equaled on any other system until quite recently. You want to play that on Windows 98 with a sound card with an Aureal Vortex chip. The people recommending Unreal Tournament (and any other game on that engine) are wrong.
