Best amiga turn based strategy ?
« on: October 23, 2010, 08:37:28 PM »
What is some of your favourite TBS games on the miggy ?

A few that spring to mind: Civilization, the Battle Isle games, Historyline, Perfect General, Lasersquad UFO / XCOM (was there ever an american release of the amiga version?) and others.

Games that combine turn based with real time elements are probably okay too (Centurion ?)


Wanted to figure out the Breach series, but have a heck of a time.

Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs

As for turn based games, Full Metal Planet was cool.  I still hum the main tune every now and then too... ;)

UFO Enemy Unknown is the best I've played, but the freeware game MechForce is pretty good!

+1 on both games. UFO Enemy Unknown is a great single player game although a faster system makes it much more enjoyable. MechForce really shines when playing with friends and playing with friends is always more enjoyable than playing alone ;).

I also enjoyed Warlords and most of the SSI turn based D&D games too.

You haven't play Turn Based Strategy until you've played Total Chaos :D
Wanna try a wonderfull strategy game with lots of handdrawn anims,
Magic Spells and Monsters, Incredible playability and lastability,
English speech, etc. Total Chaos AGA
