Jurassic War (1997)
Genres:Strategy, Real Time Strategy (RTS)
Story:Jurassic War is another real-time strategy of its age. There are many similar strategies which are mostly much better, however this one use some different approach, which makes the game worth trying. The game mechanic is pretty simple and even sometimes it is quite hard to make your units do whatever they should do. They mostly disobey especially in a crowded areas but it is quite normal for such games.
This game has a quite different approach compared to the classic strategy line. Your main resource is food, which is not harvested in some sort but your units must hunt the wild animals to collect it.
Collected food must be brought to the food storage. You can build a different buildings in this game, you train a builder for a food who can build the requested building or fight your foes in the meantime. There are plenty of factions, every one with some special ability. Your army consists basically of dinosaurs and humans and everyone gets improved over time so it is good to train some special soldiers in your army who will be better that 10 rookies. Dinosaurs are tougher, but humans can collect numerous objects and use them as a weapons. (such as shields, stones, spears, bows, magical talismans and much more.)Show more

A unique strategy game from my childhood. Food is the only resource, so hunting grounds need to be secured. I love the mix of magic, use of swords and having dinosaurs as controllable units.
Received this game as a gift in CD format, but cannot play it any more due to compatibility issues. Would love to see this game on here.
Absolutely adore this game. What it does different is that all your units are both your builders/army and your Heroes. This is done by allowing any unit to get Experience when they defeat enemies (who lands the killing blow) and gives you a choice - make a balanced army or funnel all the experience into one unit who will then be carrying the entire map for you (with the risk of losing it and basically having to start over). Works better for factions who have mage casters of course. Factions in the game are separated into tribes who have a special unit unique to them, however broadly speaking there are 3 main specializations - crafting tribes, who can make an armory and equip your humans with tools, dinosaur tribes, who can train dinosaurs specific to the faction, or finally the magical tribes, who can make units with corresponding spell casting abilities.
Have my copy but cannot make it work for the life of me. Would love to play it once again and for others to experience this peculiar game for themselves!
I still remember the day when my mom randomly buyed this game for me on a papers store. Loved it so much. Beatifull mix of RTS with RPG. It has nearly all: Dinos, Spells, Beasts, Items. Just missed one thing: a level editor. God bless her!

Metal Gear Solid HD CollectionFrom the critically acclaimed director, Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid HD Collection offers a handful of the most popular Metal Gear Solid titles from the past in true HD for the first time ever. Featuring three complete games, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, the HD Collection offers old and new fans a chance to experience the epic game play, design and storytelling of the MGS franchise. The "Metal Gear Solid (MGS)" series is the seminal work of Hideo Kojima, Japan's master game creator, and the progenitor of the stealth action game genre. The series has become a global phenomenon, with over 27 million copies sold worldwide. The player controls a secret agent from an elite special forces unit who is sent on solo sneaking missions through enemy installations, vast jungles, and sometimes even the thick of battle. Alone and surrounded by the enemy, even a special forces agent will find it tough to come out alive. But that is the secret behind the series' popularity-the cerebral challenge of figuring out how to avoid combat, and the thrill of sneaking through enemy territory undetected.The MGS series is also known for its storyline, which blends seamlessly with the gameplay. The scenarios are based on extensive research and incorporate the drama of actual developments in society. These elements have made MGS what it is today: a mature work of entertainment that transcends national borders and the confines of video games, and one of the leading products of the Japanese content business.Action Stealth

Players assume command of an army that's out to reclaim a world that's been broken up by warring factions. The battle map is essentially a grid, and moving units is like moving chess pieces on a board -- each of the units can move a specific amount of spaces within this grid, and can only attack at a certain distance from specific enemies. Advance Wars features more than 115 maps, a map editor, head-to-head play via link cable, and an easy-to-understand tutorial mode for beginners.Action Warfare Science fiction
