R.I.P. Bullfrog...

The Dungeon Keeper games will forever be among my top 10.

Magic Carpet and Genewars were such weird games.

I loved that game. Only for to play for a few weeks in Germany back in 1995.

Ran into it again years later somewhere and finally made it much further through the missions. Great game.

I never beat the final mission.

They got frakin' hard! Especially the mechanics of the trains and when the baddies started shooting further. Tracking where the action was got tough when you had to split the team.

Yeah I had figure I out a strategy using the persuedatron, where it would get stronger the more people you persueded. If you started with civilians and got a bunch, you could then do security guards, then the police, then other syndicate agents. I still think this is the only way to beat that final level, but there are nothing but agents on that level.

That was my favorite game as a kid. Too bad the only remake is a stupid FPS.

‘Satellite Reign’ is the spiritual successor, released in 2015 and started by the producer and lead programmer for ‘Syndicate Wars’.

I played it for couple of hours and it seems pretty good. Thank you again.

[–] Rusty@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

I'll check it out, thanks.

Yeah the remake totally misunderstood what the game was about.
