This was pre-internet game. It was too hard for me when I was so young so I couldn't finish it before. Now I discovered this again, so I nailed it. Very good strategy game.

The first citybuilder/RTS I ever played with a beautiful art style. Similarly to StarCraft 1, much of the fun is derived from finding ways to exploit AI to your advantage both in combat and in supply chain management. The HD version has everything unlocked, so for the traditional experience (and extra challenge) you should try the non-HD version. It limits what you can build and adds some more variety to the missions.
