Deadlock: Planetary Conquest

They only thing I had to play with was my screen resolution, took 1 min to find my liking, and suddenly I'm back back nearly 30 years. Great fun!

I've played deadlock for almost twenty years whenever i needed to do a beatdown on multiple people. this is excellent brain fodder for world taking.

First, let me say that while I requested this game a while ago through this site, given the relative lack of popularity of the game (with minimal votes compared to many other requested games), I did not imagine it would actually get added. Thank you, GOG!! As for my brief review, let me say that this fairly unique (especially for its time) TBS brings some interesting elements to the mix, with a heavy emphasis on technological and colonial development. Truly, simplicity is what makes this game shine. There is depth to be had here with diversity between the available races that alter strategic approaches to dominating a respective planet. That being said, this game is perfect to pick up and put down, so to speak. It is deep enough to engage, simple enough to learn quickly, and easy to pause and put down.

Cool little game, but be warned that GOG's version has something weird going on if you play it in windowed mode (its default setting) where the menu is hidden and unreachable underneath your start bar (if you have your bar located on the top of the screen that is). One way to solve it is to play in fullscreen mode but this is unwise because it will always eventually crash if you play fullscreen.
