I was thinking just today that someone should make a game like this. Mutually assured destruction from the creators of Darwinia

umm... yeah check it out, it got an 8.8 in IGN, and it's $10 if you preorder it on steam. I know i'm gonna

so it's like this, but with modern grpahics?

[Docktor_Worm]

it looks much simpler and more acessible since there's no resorces, or research

[a1s]

I don't think there's any research in DefCon either, from what I got you an only chose locations for your installations and excecute nuclear strikes.  

[Docktor_Worm]

i was refering to defcon

uhm... Bravo Romeo Delta doesn't have any research. or resources. it's just a simulation of a controlled (as oposed to all-out in DefCon) nuclear excahnge. within the timespan of a few days (no time to research stuff, allthough one could argue that the population is a resource).

Do you REALLY have to criticize every new game that comes out? Give it a rest dude, by now, nearly everything has been done.

If I had problems with copycatery (copycating?) I wouldn't be here. a large part of the games weh have here are remakes (add to that the games that are the originals, and the games that are infact remakes but pretend not to be and you'll see it's actualy well over a half of our selection).

heck, I might even buy this game when it come out here (you know, if I run out of fun freeware to play )

Weirdly, the thing that appeals to me the most about this is the fact that it kind of looks the way I imagine videogames should look - like something out of Tron. If ever you want to win me over just show me some flat shaded polygons or colourful wireframe stuff.

I think you'd enjoy most things from this developer. Darwinia is rather poligonal, and Uplink is cool too.

for me it's not that it looks like a computer game ("tron"), but rather like a high command military display from the 80s ("wargames").

[Blood-Pigggy]

I saw Uplink on Steam and was like WTF, the game had been released stand alone like four years ago.

[Potatoe]

What is Uplink? This looks interesting but I don't have a credit card and stuff so it's a no go for me.

[Blood-Pigggy]

It's like a hacker simulation type game, it's really cool, and it has a huge amount of possibilities.

[Docktor_Worm]

i'm wondering if i should buy the steam version of the game or the non-steam one. does playing a game on steam confer any advantages that the normal way doesnt?
