Mon père et moi avons joué à ce jeu sur Atari ST pendant des heures et des heures et recommencé régulièrement à l'époque. Faire des recherches, fabriquer, voyager, miner des astérides, coloniser... on passait des heures à faire défiler le temps pour voir les résultats. Et pour au final, coloniser le système solaire et, enfin, revenir sur Terre ! Il y a même des combats de vaisseaux en "3D" :) Attention spoil, la production du premier MKII se passe mal ^^
Loved loved loved this game, so many 100s of hours spent on my old ST. The game is burnt into my memory. Would so love to see games like these go into the preservation program!

This was my first venture into strategy games that weren't text based. The back story along with base management, harvesting and a very basic 3D flight sim when defending your base was so unique and exciting, and I have searched high and low for a modern game that has these elements. Such fond memories of this, playing it on my Atari STFM for days on end.
While many space strategy games focus on the space and resource management, Millenium: Return to Earth stands out like a diamond among quartz among the DOS games with some unusually high stakes, defense against the enemy, and an occasional random event. This game puts you can charge of an isolated moonbase when life on Earth has been destroyed in a catastrophe and the only other intelligent life is actively hostile to you. Starting with some scarce resources and some limited tech, you gradually build you initial base, explore the solar system using probes, build up defenses against the mutant aggressors, and colonize the solar system before wiping out the enemy. The gameplay is simple yet requires a decent amount of foresight to achieve a good ending. Though the graphics has only a handful of figures you can find, the style in the illustrations should be attractive to some modern gamers. The game prevents the gameplay from being to montonous by throwing in some emergencies, such as a plague outbreak and a rebellion in some of the colonies. Millenium: Return to Earth has an inventive gameplay which should be preserved straying from the standard formula of other strategy games while maintaining the tension of a space survival story.
This was the first PC game I was obsessed with. Grew up playing it all the time on our first family computer. Please make this available so I can relive my childhood!

Arena Wars
Arena WarsArena Wars is a completely new kind of 3D Real Time Strategy game, combining the gameplay principles and interface from RTS games with the fast pace of action-based shooters. Arena Wars is a single and multiplayer game. Multiplayer supports up to 8 players, who can fight against each other and challenge other players from all around the world via the AW Server, whilst the single player mode is loaded with action-packed single player missions against one or more computer opponents. There are 3 different game modes: Capture the Flag, Bombing Run and Double Domination. In AW the goal is not simply to destroy the enemy's base or units. To score points in the various scenarios you must complete objectives that range from stealing the enemy flag, carrying a bomb into your enemy's base or seize and hold Domination zones for a period of time. The winner is the player who satisfies that particular game's objectives. For example, in a Capture the Flag game with a 'capture limit' of 5, the winner is the first player to capture 5 enemy flags.
