Battle Isle Platinium is pure strategy combined with a compelling backstory. Consisting of the first four installments of the series, it offers the opportunity to play and experience a huge chunk of Battle Isle history, from the very beginnings on up to the events on Scayra, the colonial planet of Chromos – a planet so distant and yet so similar to Earth. The history of the Kais and the Drulls is one comprised of only a few Chromian centuries, but centuries with one war following the other, with destruction and upheaval determining the development of Chromian society.
Contains full versions of the following strategy games in one package:
• Battle Isle 1 including Data Disk 1 & Battle Isle ‘93 & Historyline: 1914-1918
• Battle Isle 2 including Scenery CD “Titan’s Legacy”
• Battle Isle 3 along with extensive video sequences
• Incubation and The Wilderness Missions,
Six great turn-based games in the same sci-fi universe, offering weeks of challenging gameplay!
Units gain experience as you progress through the game, adding a new layer of strategic decisions.
This pack includes Incubation, which takes the war from strategic to tactical level, adding more variety to the game experience.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
I played all of these back when they were new, Battle Isle 2 being the strongest reason I had to buy my first pc (486sx25).
All these GOG versions play the same, BI3 was always an awkward one to view due to windows 3.x and scalability issues plus some low-res fmv (which really did look like that back then).
I've still got all the disks and manuals from the originals, but no 3.5" drive!
Great to see them playable again.
You can manage to run it in windows 10/11 by checking the appropriate thread in the forum, the expansion of Incubation (Wilderness Missions) it's a chore.
Players who remember Military Madness on the TurboGrafx-16 or Nectaris on the PC will enjoy Battle Isle. Incubation is a turn-based, tactical strategy game similar to X-Com. All of these games are great fun and the volume of game content in this package is impressive.
Look, don't get me wrong, I loved the battle isle series (even drew some fan comics based on the games!) but it just doesn't work...even with the help of Dosbox.
The controls are like a shopping trolley, going all over the place and half the time they don't even work. The graphics have a hard time adjusting to modern pc's and the animations run at super speeds. Not very satisfying when you want to see your hard thought out strategy pay off!
I also bought it only to play Incubation. It is a great turn based strategy game, just wish it was longer, like Spellcross, I hope that GOG will release that gem too, gameplay takes a month and it is also based on economy and research along with a breath taking story.
