Well worth it for at least one campaign!
Not a very complex game with many units becoming obsolete the more you unlock but nevetheless this game has the right mix of 90s sci-fi, a decent soundtrack and fun gameplay. Sadly the factions are very similar to each other and share the same campaign (starting postion). Which is why once you have played through one campaign, you've pretty much seen everything the game contains. Regardless, the time you have with atleast one playthrough is well spent. It takes a bit of time to get used to the action point system and learning the units, this is why I recommend watching the first few episodes of a walkthrough of this game before you make a decision on buying it. I can't comment on the GOG version, as I am using the disc version, which is not easy to get running on non 16-bit compatible operating systems. Nevertheless, I managed to get it working perfectly on Windows 10 except for the videos, as the video codec is missing and I couldn't figure out where to get one for that works. In the case that someone is interested, here is how I did it: - Set up a virtual windows 98 machine, using an emulator such as PCem in order to install the game. The setup.exe sadly only works on systems with 16-bit support. - Move the installed files from your virtual system to the actual Windows 10 installation. - Look up the registry entries for Fallen Haven under Windows 98 and manually recreate them on Windows 10. You can find them under Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\I-Magic\Fallen Haven\1.0 - Now when launching the game, it will complain, that some dlls are missing in the Windows\system32 and WOW64 folders. Search the missing dlls on your disc and copy them where the program tells you to. - Finally, set the game's compatibility to 8-bit colors (256), execute at a resolution of 640 x 480 and run as admin Congrats, your disc version of Fallen Haven should now be working on Windows 10.
