classic game

My dad had this game growing up and it is a top 5 game of all time for me. The simple gameplay makes it still enjoyable 20+ years later

Not given credit.

This game is the template for Total War: Warhammer. They'll never admit it! haha they even added features to the game this already has. It has truly aged like fine Romulan Wine. If it were released today on STEAM as an "indie pixel game" I'd have no doubt it would be in the top 10 indie list.

Does Not Run

Win 10, 151 GB free disk space. Play => low disk space warning => application launcher => auto-closes. That's all folks.
