A great game of my childhood. I loved that you can mix turrets and units. Like a tank with a laser gun or the same tank with a rocket launcher, but both weapons can also be build on a atst like walker

This game had great mechanics and unit personalization. Awesome memories with it, I with it could be available as I can't make it run in anything further than windows XP
The game is part of german gaming history. Compared to C&C it has its own charm. I distinctly remember the narrator calling out the unit names. The soundtrack is great and the customizable options with the weapon types is a clever idea. This game would make a perfect addition to gog's library, especially considering you can't run it on modern systems right now.

I played a lot of RTS games in my early ages and i must say that Thandors research system of different weapons and then the combination with different unit-bases was a highlight for me. It allowed a bunch of customizable armies which i thoroughly enjoyed. Of course there were obvious better ones especially considering the pathing, but high replayability nontheless.

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.

Discworld
DiscworldDiscworld is a game released for PC (subsequently Mac, and Playstation) by Teeny Weeny / Perfect 10 studios in 1995. The game was released both on floppy disk and CD-Rom. The latter featured a commentary team created of many veterans of famous Brit-Coms. This included Monty Python's Eric Idle, Radio 4's (later to be more famous) Rob Brydon, ex- Doctor Who John Pertwee, 70s pop singer Kate Robbins, and Blackadder star Tony Robinson. The game is a riff on the Discworld title 'Guards, Guards', however many elements of the text have been shifted, not least the inclusion of Rincewind as protagonist. The game featured puzzles which were considered far too difficult and obtuse for gamers of the time, but the game itself has had a lasting legacy, now being accepted into such emulators as SCUMMVM.
