542nd played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1997 Developer: Mythos Games Publisher: Microprose We played the first X-Com game a few years ago, and I remember it as being outdated – no in game tutorial or handholding, just putting you in there and wishing you good luck.

Due to a missed connection over […]
165th played so far Genre: Strategy Platform: PC Year of Release: 1996 Developer: MicroProse Publisher: MicroProse There’s some games that, when they come up in our random selection, fill me with both anticipation and dread.
