bazilisek: I'm pretty sure both games have a pause function; the space key, I'd wager.
If you like Commandos/Desperados, Robin Hood is not a bad choice. It's somewhat unbalanced and gets
very repetitive towards the end, but all in all it's a decent game. Desperados is better, though.
One review wrote that the game would miss this function. I'm trying to download the manual, but it seems replacementdoc has some problems at the moment, my download will not start.
Edit: Got it. Space starts quick action. There is no shortcut for a pause function, but there is a cheat called stop time. I don't know if this means the game will paused or you don't have a time counter for some missions.
Edit 2: Checked Chicago 1930. Your'e right at that, with spacebar you can not pause but slow down the game. That's sound really interesting.
