One of my fav games from childhood that sadly cannot be acquired legally at this point. Managed to get an old ISO image, but the performance was not ideal on Win10, required a lot of tinkering for it to work - until it just broke. Would be great to relive the best memories from childhood in a legal way without risking losing all the saves at random.

Very fun game, with cool and interesting challanges that played well with the mechanics and fantastic map editor. My favourite mechanic was how male and female units from each faction could breed and their kids would be a unit from either one of the other faction, this allowed for some really fun strats. I played this game so much back in the day.

Unfortunately, these games are the most vulnerable to be extinct, even with a dreamlist like this, the most populat games will get upvoted, and sadly this game wasn't one of them. Its a beautiful game that deserves to be properly preserved. It has so many unique races and interactions, that will be lost.
Woah. Kupiłem za 69zł (hehe ;) ) w wielkim kartonowym pudle, niestety płyta gdzieś wyparowała. Przez pierwsze chyba 2 tygodnie zastanawiałem się co muszę kliknąć, żeby zaczęły mi się produkować jednostki. W końcu odkryłem, że trzeba parkę (ekhem... różnopłciową) wysłać na (hehe ;) ) cim-cirimcim do domu. Gra miała w mojej opinii mocno innowacyjne podejście do ekonomii i kilka innych ciekawych elementów, część strategiczna nieco gożej. Brak mocniej zróżnicowanych jednostek. Mmmm... Grał bym.
Kupiona za 19,99zł w niebieskim pudełku Extra Klasyki. Jakby poszukać to znalazłbym do niej instrukcję, ale po samej płytce ślad zaginął, także chętnie powitałbym Sagę na GOG. Gra miała klimatyczną ścieżkę dźwiękową (do dziś czasem ją sobie puszczę na YT żeby leciała w tle), kilka ciekawych pomysłów na rozgrywkę (np. zmienne pory roku) i do tego na płytce znajdowała sie mała encyklopedia wiedzy o mitologii nordyckiej, w którą dziesięcioletni ja namiętnie się wczytywał. Największa wada? Brak kampanii albo chociaż możliwości gry na losowych mapach wybranymi przez siebie frakcjami. Dostawało się tylko kilkanaście nie powiązanych ze sobą scenariuszy. Koniec końców byłoby świetnie móc znowu pogierczyć sobie w Sagę godzinkę albo dwie, bo o ile gra nie była wybitna to siła nostalgii ma to do siebie, że dodaje parę punktów do ostatecznej oceny.
One of the first video games I played as a child. My mom saw this in a shop and bought it for me, not knowing what it was. I was confused and couldn't really figure out how to play, but I remember loving the music and atmosphere of the game. I'd love to play it now that I'm an adult and could finally figure it out.
This was my first RTS game, ever. All the unique mechanics it taught me made me feel like a professional when it came to more modern but more simplistic RTS games later on. It made me feel someone who could be a professional. Not to mention the game's atmosphere, wonderful music and cool graphics (at the time). And the feeling when I've won a game was marvelous. Truly an achievement.

This was at times my friend and my favorite rts game. I bet we didn't even understand all the mechanics of the game back then, because we were only children, but it would be so cool to relive this now as an adult. I don't know if I even own the CD-R somewhere

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

It is an updated version of the Dune II. In this game the player would have to fight for an interesting thing; the control of the spices in the galaxy. The spices control could make you the most powerful there. The player has to choose to be one of the three houses first: Atreides, Harkonnen, or Ordos. Each house has its own vice and virtue and the right selection could give the player right start to the game but he could learn as well as, later in the game with time. Once you choose a side, you to win the King’s challenge of producing the most amount of spice. It won’t be as easy as it sounds. For getting the control of the spices, the player has to fight over the other two houses by all means. Dune 2000 is done with enough of stunt and live-in scenes to pep up the theme and there is a soothing sound score to add to the overall theme. It’s a game based on the Dune series book of Frank Herbert and gives the player a real pleasure of both combat and competition.
