A Strategy Game that Should Be Played
M.A.X. is a game I find myself coming back to every few years. Its concept is so simple that I'm amazed that no-one has really attempted something comparable. It's not a perfect game, but here's what keeps me coming back to it: Resource Scarcity - One of the best ever at this. You're set on a planet with very little information or resources, you need to explore the surrounding area to find critical supplies of minerals, fuel, and gold in order to build the facilities you need to get a competitive advantage over your enemies. You also need to create a series of connectors and vehicles to transport these critical materials to different parts of your complex. You need to pool your resources and decide where you focus your development: defensive fixed structures and land mines? a fast-deploying air transport fleet? large numbers of lightly-armored scouts in an attempt to quickly beat an opponent? research facilities to broadly improve your entire complex? You can't do it all, so plan ahead. Initial Balance - The interplay between ground troops, air units, naval units, and fixed structures is terrific. There is no obvious path or unit to victory allowing you time to compensate for setbacks. Upgrade - Every unit has its initial benefits and drawbacks, but with the gold upgrade system you can create anything you want. Super-robust missile launchers? Speedy tanks? Devastatingly powerful gunships? All doable--for a price. There are drawbacks beyond the normal audio-visual quirks of a game this age: the game isn't 100% stable, the AI can be lacking at all but the most powerful levels, and the UI could be streamlined more, but I do recommend this for a few hours to solid gameplay. In conclusion: this is a good strategy game, and I hope folks to design strategy games give this a try. It's enlightening. M.A.X.2 is a massive disappointment--I wouldn't even bother firing it up. You may be concerned about paying for just one recommended game, but I believe it is worth it.
