GDI DISC DETECTED. Wait, that only happened on the PlayStation version!!! Immediate 10 point reduction for the PC version off the bat. I did a short Twitter Poll of people’s favourite defunct Developers of the 90s and our good friend…

Anno 1602: Creation of a New World. Max Design (1998) PC
This is one of those strange games for me. I first played it at my then girlfriends house in circa 1998/99 thinking this was an “old game”. What I guess that means is that even in circa 1999 Anno 1602…

UFO: Aftermath started off “The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge” by Mythos Games, but was eventually abandoned. It is an homage to X-Com, and is partly based on the abandoned X-Com: Genesis. It is *NOT* officially related to UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-Com:…
