M.A.X. + M.A.X. 2
Description
Your mission: colonize new worlds on distant planets. As the Mission Commander, you and the Mechanized Assault & Exploration (M.A.X.) force under your command are the first ones in. Mining stations, power plants, tactical combat vehicle factories, habitats – it's up to you to plan and construct them.
The entire new colony? You create it. The resources you find there? Control them. Enemies? Crush 'em! And there will be enemies. You're not the only Mission Commander trying to colonize the planets. You'll have to push yourself to the limit to survive the ultimate showdown in strategic warfare. It's espionage, heavy artillery, offensives, counter offensives and intelligence – all with maximum consequences.
At its core, M.A.X. is about resource-gathering, building, and tactical combat. The game offers more than 50 land, sea, and air units, most of which can be upgraded to improve their armor, speed, and range. You can play as one of eight different factions with different advantages for each one. Discover new scenarios, units and more with the sequel - M.A.X. 2. Now both games bundled together!

It's ok. But NO as good as.....
... all the usual hordes of 5-star raving loonies claim. As a TBS it is solid enough, especially given it's '96 vintage, but it is just to..... slow, arduos and I soon tired of it. ALL the pre-made single scenario and campaign missions are I.M.P.O.S.S.I.B.L to the E, due to being scripted with extremely unfair odds against the player in mind. Play on a procedural skirmish scenario and you will find the AI doesn't at least cheat (well it does on the hardest levels and it is fully disclosed that it cheats) all the time, but it just turtles, turtles and more turtles. After a few dozen turns all enemy bases and yours (if you turtled) will be simply unassailable and it all ends in stalemate - a game that isn't going to go anywhere. Hey 5-star loonies, don't forget to hit the "no" button down there like you scumbags do with ALL "critical" reviews that don't kowtow to your 5-star lunacies.

Horribly Cheap
I played this when it came out. I'm sure it's as bad now as it was back then. It was released when everyone was cashing in on Command & Conquers fame. Lots of bugs horrible interface. If GOG ever gets KKND play that instead. Enough said.
