All of your base are belong on the moon.

Moonbase Commander a unique and charming mix of strategy, puzzle, management, and arcade games set in the barren landscape of the Moon itself, is now available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

Looking for a game with original gameplay idea? Look no further! Moonbase Commander delivers one of the most unique mechanics ever to be seen in a computer game. The objective of the game is to establish a working network of facilities and structures in the otherworldly planes of an inhabitable moon. Each and every node of your infrastructure needs to be launched upwards so that it lands in the correct position. This brings some similarities to a golf game into the picture. But that's not all the challenge you will find in the barren landscape. Other commanders try to establish their bases in the same territory. You'll need to include some defensive structures in your design and try to get your weapon systems as close to your enemies as possible and skillfully launch your attacks--just as in a game of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/worms_united]Worms. Just remember that all of the nodes need to stay connected by power supply lines!

Moonbase Commander stands out with its unique gameplay. It's one of these games that take a minute get into but days and days to master. Masterfully programmed AI will provide a real challenge while you race for control over scarce resources and try to keep your quickly growing base fully operational. The game comes with an extremely easy to use map editor, so you can never run out of scenarios to play!

Carefully plan your moves, take aim, launch your modules, and extend your territory crushing your opponents and proving that you're the supreme Moonbase Commander, for only $5.99!
Anyone care to give me any info on this game? It looks really interesting but I've never heard of it.

F4LL0UT: Certainly an interesting release. For some weird reason I had to think of Netstorm - another very original strategy game that has to come to GOG.
Um. Wasn't that game played more or less entirely online? I'm not sure the servers are still up for a game that old...

You know what they say.

"You grow with your challenges"

I'm expecting an offline DRM free MMORPG soon from you ;-P.

The only mmo I played, I played mostly as a sightseer. Just walking around and looking at stuff. So I'd actually quite like an mmo turned into an offline world to explore. It seems such a waste that worlds like that just disappear.

But I guess mmo archeology is a very specific niche :P

Offline? I don't want bunch of unwashed MMORPG players in my house!
It would be either that or wandring around a very lonely world...

You could always set up a MUD for LAN play, have done that before, ~12 people playing.

Do I look like somebody who wants a rational solution?

I'm trying to give a solution that could be considered "legal". If that solution is also "rational", that's a bonus :P

Netstorm does have a decent and really challenging singleplayer campaign, actually, including a rather strong AI. But there's also local multiplayer options that use TCP-IP and a community is actually still running servers for the game (as well as offering more singleplayer content). I had forgotten that the community is already offering the full game, though. <.< But the game REALLY needs more players...

Phew, thanks for that. I have Netstorm retail, and for a moment I was wondering if it really is an obsolete non-functional online-only game nowadays. At least I didn't think so back when I bought it.

It's great to see a Humongous game released here on GOG. I hope more will come.
The review makes it seem very interesting, while also explaining why I can't remember ever having heard about the game before. I am quite tempted to buy this now.

BTW, noticed the author of the review is Erik Wolpaw...
