Warzone 2100 (1999)
Genres:Strategy, Real Time Strategy (RTS)
Themes:Science fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:In the late 21st century, NASDA (the North American Strategic Defense Agency) developed and deployed a massive missile defense system, including a network of nuclear-equipped satellites and ground-based launch sites. However, during a routine maintenance check, something went terribly wrong...
While most of the survivors form scavenger bands to survive, one group of people, who refer to themselves as "The Project", seeks to rebuild civilization using pre-war technology.
Warzone 2100 is a real-time strategy game, originally developed by Pumpkin Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, now developed by the Warzone 2100 Project. Compared to other real-time strategy games, it has a greater focus on artillery, radar, and counter-battery technologies, more frequent in-game cinematic updates as game play progresses, a massive research tree, as well as a vehicle design system.
Outside of the story, Warzone 2100 only has a single faction. This limits some of the variety that can be expected from real-time strategy games, although the single faction is very complex. Essentially, Warzone 2100 plays much like Earth 2150 with 3D units and terrain, customizable vehicles, a lack of traditional infantry, use of "research" to acquire new technologies, and the differentiation of vehicles types.Show more
Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.115
I used to play this game when I was a kid, and the idea of designing your own units in an RTS game using techs you develop is wild, even to this day. I'm happy to say that there's a free, open-source sort of remake/remaster of this game. While the project already has a website, a community, and tons of features, I'd like to see GOG getting in touch with the project to maybe add it to their free to play catalogue. Even if it doesn't bring in a lot of profit, I like the idea of GOG collaborating with other projects that further game preservation, even if it is, in this case, for a single free game
This is my second favorite RTS after Emperor: Battle for Dune. Warzone 2100 has great customization options, a fantastic post apocalyptic grim dark setting and atmosphere, worthy challenge, and a banging OST. I totally agree with another poster that GoG may find open arms if they look into the open source project and contact the hard working folks behind it.
-Perfecting my econ through the night only to get nuked by a psychotically charismatic AI a few missions later.
-Running a fleet of paper thin (and cheap) amphibious AA scouts as spotters when I realised my super heavy howitzers could barely make it from one end of the base to another in a play session.
-Fist-pumping a power upgrade of all things, only to jostle my playstation too much and crash the game.
-Discovering assault cannons, dropping everything for assault cannons, never being punished.
From designing your own units to desperately researching concrete upgrades, genuinely fearing the enemies next transmission - as it could mean it's time to go buy milk. This is a gem in single player gamings cap. Although multiplayer (human and bot) is there, the campaign is where this game really shines. I truly believe this is the most uniquely 'Game' military RTS ever made and represents what was lost in the 'competitive' trend chasing rush.
It is now mostly open source and freely available (wz2100) but that isn't on the most stable legal grounds, and if anybody deserves praise for preserving games and making them last forever, and what that means to fans, it is those maintainers.
A collaborative link. Legal support to make everything secure and confident enough to use the video files in a single bundle. GOG acting as a distributer to reach more people. Really any support that makes seeing more RTSs like this really would be a dream.
SOMEHOW i did enjoyed this game on PS1. PS1 mouse was extremely rare even in USA, and so i did it on DualShock. PS1 port which limit units to 4(!) squad by 10(!!!) units - include non-combat engineering units, mobile repair and sensors.
Not perfect visuals, empty post-apoc landmarks (at last Act3 there will be city ruins still everything empty and grey). Just 3 music tracks for PC version (4 for PS1, and another one for PS1 demo). But intense gameplay close to Total Annihilation and expanding system, make alot of fun for me.
Im an RTS fan, i did like siege mission and replay previous one to rebuild my defense. I liked that its goes to next mission right from previous base. I enjoy recognition landing tactical missions (no base).
I did enjoyed design "my own" units, and take direct control of them (this one are PS1 version exclusive feature). Looking back - design system just a few bunch of preset not really big deal - but it really make the trick, along with campaign Research progression system (differ from Skirmish Tier Research system).
Open source project screw campaign with each new update, bring issues with AI and unit pathfinding/controls. Original PC version(v.1.10) has issues with launching even on old WinNT OSes - but better as original and as better balanced campaign. Still The Project make me lost in it again.
PC version has Skirmish and online multiplayer, which slightly differ from campaign in fact, when you not lurk for technology artifacts. Warzone 2100 is like 2 differ games in one on PC. And another one on PS1.
With modern multiplayer experience for Warzone 2100 The Resurrection Project.
I wish SupCom get features of WZ2100, without them i cant name modern suppress game, but WZ2100 dated alot... But not obsolete. Unique game to this days. Deffinetly deserve Preservation Program, cause it is one of the games has no second game like this (yet). All 3 ports.
P.S. Open-source port shared on another Store. I need original!

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
