Nectaris

In the 80's strategy games were mostly not for the casual gamers. Often too complicated, these games were something for the group of hardcore strategy gamers. 'Nectaris' ('Military Madness' in the US) though is different and represents the opposite. Easy to learn but hard to master. Even casual gamers might have fun with it. Series like 'Battle Isle' or 'Panzer General' seemed to be influenced from this game. The game might not be too well known, but it was revolutionary at its time.
