Disciples: Sacred Lands was a beautiful Turn Based Strategy game. It had 4 factions vying for power, the Empire of Man, the Dwarven Kingdoms, the Undead Horde, and the Legions of the Damned. All with unique tech trees that you choose between. It was an excellent fantasy game with an engaging storyline, with each campaign unveiling another piece in a long story, and an enthralling soundtrack to match, it is truly a gem. Strategy First, the company that made it, really had something special in those days, with many fantasy titles that I did not find the match of. You have a main base in the game, your citadel, that each turn converts the land around it to your type and any resources within that land you gain each turn. You create parties of troops from each city that level up as they succeed in battle and change - an apprentice to a knight, or acolyte to mage etc. You can take additional cities which will in turn create more land around them of your type. There are neutral parties on the map but you are always pitted against another of the 4 races. I remember I would rush to get my homework done to I could go hang out with the neighbor to play this game in LAN. One of my absolute favorites and possibly the first game I ever played in LAN. If you like fantasy and TBS, this is a must for you.
SimFarmSimFarm was developed by Maxis as a spinoff of SimCity, and allowed the player to simulate the running of a farm. It was released in 1993 for PC Dos, and was released a year later for Macintosh. It has become a classic, and began the subsequent development of the farm simulation subgenre, although Maxis did not make any sequel to the game in the way they have for SimCity.Business

Starship Troopers: Terran AscendancyStarship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy is a real time strategy game with a common misunderstanding. This game is not based on the movie Starship Troopers. Both, the game and the movie, are based upon the novel by Robert A. Heinlein.
This is one of the few strategy games where you cannot build a base and recruit units. Instead you lead up to three squads into combat. Each squad contains a leader, five soldiers and one specialist (medic, engineer, PSI for detecting hidden bugs, MIST-Trooper as a sniper). During a mission there is no reinforcement and you are outnumbered by the bugs. The enemy units are not very intelligent, but they use their own special abilities like splitting acid and are very powerful. There is a wide range of enemies, from simple close-range fighters to suicide units, artillery bugs and even human soldiers. The mission objectives are also different. From simple hunting missions up to escorts or the capturing of bugs.
The game also have a RPG part. Surviving soldiers gain experience points for each killed bug / destroyed bug holes. By and by the soldiers increase their states and acquire higher ranks. Better battle suits (armor) and stronger weapons are only available for soldiers with high ranks. The basic soldier (called Cat Trooper) have no armor and is an easy prey for the bugs. Besides the experience points you gather upgrade points for your equipment for e.g. increase the damage of the weapons. Another aspect of the RPG part is that you can equip each of your soldiers individual with up to two different weapons and two tech-items (like bombs or toxic gas).
The graphic of the landscape is low on details, everything looks post apocalyptic. Much better is the combat graphic and the explosions. The cutscenes are made with the in-game graphic. Besides the sound effects your soldiers all have a voice to confirm your orders.Action Science fiction
