Old fart as i am like most of the posters, i played all of them. Truly a question of flavor, but Historyline was absolutely my favorite due to re-growing resources, in comparison the Battle Isle parts had not. But i will play all of them anyway! ;) A bit sad, that HL is not available in german, because the story screens were .. well.. entertaining as war history can be, but at least very informative. Few words about Incubation, i didn´t get the connection to it back those days. But will try again. Technically a big thanks to GOG! There are many HL / BI binaries spread all over the net, but beside one it was impossible to get them running on Win 7. But it was HL within an Amiga emulation, which wasn't very casual to install. And gfx was somewhat squeezed and the game tended to crash. The GOG box runs perfectly. I bought, tried and played Syndicate too (try it!). Good work guys, will buy more. I so wish remakes of all these games! My actual hope is XCOM: Enemy Unknown, developers promise to be close to the original gameplay. If yes - high 5!
