1998 Battlezone (PC)

[LordWushin]

Though it is not as old as some other game but is based kind of on the atari game, 1998 battlezone is my personal favorite game.

 

If you have never played it here is a run down, not a spoiler!

 

Obviously it is for the PC win 95 - 98. But I could give a link to it for vista.

It is a strategy first-person vehicle game. It has many - 20+ - single missions between two factions, the NSDF (United States) and the CCA (colonial cosmonaut army - soviets). It also features a growing, as it is just coming back, online multiplayer games. I leterally spend hours doing sp missionson hard and instand action missions(added to stock game) just to be able to compete well with people there and have a few GG. Multiplayer games dominate the bz universe.

 

I personally think you would love this game if your a strategy persn, first-person guy, or a space, sci-fi guy. I will give a link if you want, and it will take you to the original stock game - not an "enhanced" game- but modified for vista and win 7. Let me know if you all are interested or have questions.

It was certainly innovative. I don't remember another game that was the first to combine Strategy with FIrst Person Shooter, and was still good.

I remember this too - though I didn't play it until about 2002. It was definitely unique (as many early games were) and did a good job of integrating a wide range of elements. I cannot say that I put enough time into it to fully appreciate the game, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
