My favorite of the Panzer General series! The fighting animation was particulary good for its day. Love this game! Panzer General II is my 2nd favorite, but doesn't come close to this gem!
When I was 6 years old, I had learned that my father, a true renaissance man, spoke fluent German and French. I was fascinated and wanted to l learn German too. Along with that I discovered his love of history. I became a basic armchair historian.
We had a Windows 95 and 98 PC, I do not remember which one we used at the time. Anyways, my mother knew I would enjoy a practical way to experience history. So one Christmas morning, I woke up around 5 something AM before anyone else was up to see what Santa brought me for Christmas. I looked in my stocking and pulled out this jewel case of Panzer General. I believe this is the first video game I ever owned. I still have it, but the disc is very scratched up.
I played this game so so much! I'd take a break, play some new PC I got over the years, and would come back and replay it. I loved watching the animated combat scenes, seeing all the different kinds of units and airplanes I could purchase and recognize some of what they were. It was really cool to play with German units, but even more mind blowing to have the diversity occasionally of using Italian, Romanian, Bulgarian, and other units. I loved seeing how long I could last in the Battle of Berlin, or see if I could manage to take Washington, D.C. in the hypothetical what-if scenario. Even the retro video game music in it was catchy and enjoyable. I believe you could even have scenarios where you played as the Allies.
In my older age, I am not much of a turn based strategy person anymore, but I would play this again in a heart beat if it became practial with GOG. The other Panzer General games are on GOG, but it is hard for this older dog to learn new tricks. Please bring it back GOG.com! If you need the CD to borrow, let me know!
This game challenges your brain in an entertaining way. It's time to bring it back. The maps are very well-done, and the music is memorable. No one has ever produced anything like it.
This is my dad's favorite game and it would be amazing for him to be able to play it on modern machines. Mainly so when that old Win98 PC he keeps around finally dies, he can still enjoy this game.
To moja pierwsza gra strategiczna w którą grałem na poważnie. Przegrałem w nią chyba z 1000 godzin i dalej co jakiś czas do niej wracam. Jest za razem prosta żeby w nią grać i trudna żeby zwycięsko ukończyć kampanię. Mam nadziej, że GOG pozyska prawa do jej sprzedaży i pojawi się w ofercie sklepu tak jak PG2.
Jeśli tak się stanie od razu ją kupuję :)
Lords of MagicIn the fantasy world known as Urak, supporters of eight different religions constantly fight each other. One of them is Balkoth, known as the Lord of Death, who worships the dark deity Golgoth. Balkoth has sworn to destroy all other faiths in the name of his own god. The other lords have to expand their ranks and defend themselves against the mad zealot.
Lords of Magic is a strategy game that combines turn-based exploration and resource management with real-time combat. The player can choose to control any of the lords who oppose Balkoth. Each nation (faith) commanded by a lord has its own specific units. Before engaging in an offensive, the player must liberate a Great Temple for the faith of his/her choice. It is also necessary to build a stronghold, develop the nation's capital city, and recruit troops.
The troops are led by a champion, representing the "hero" of the game. This hero can be either a warrior, a thief, or a mage, possessing the classical advantages and disadvantages of these classes: the warrior is good in close combat, the thief can sabotage enemy armies, and the physically weak mage can cast devastating spells. The isometric combat proceeds in real-time, with an option to simply calculate the result of a battle immediately, depending on the participants' statistics.4X (explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate)

Dune II: The Building of a DynastyDune II is often considered the first mainstream modern real-time strategy game and established many conventions of the genre. Even though set in Frank Herbert's famous Dune universe, the game is only loosely connected to the plot of any of the books or the films based from them. Controlling either of the three Houses, the player must fight a number of battles against the other Houses. In the early levels, the goal is simply to earn a certain number of credits, while in the later missions, all enemies must be destroyed.
The single resource in the game is the Spice, which must be collected by harvesters. The spice is converted to credits in a refinery, which are then spent to construct additional buildings and units. There are two terrain types: buildings can only be constructed on stone, while the Spice is only found on sand. However, units moving on sand attract the large sandworms of Dune, who are virtually indestructible and can swallow even large units whole. As levels progress, new and more advanced buildings and units are made available, including structures like a radar station, a repair facility or defense turrets and, for units, various ground troops, light vehicles and tanks. Each House can construct one unique special unit, and, after building a palace improvement, can unleash a unique palace effect.Science fiction
