Black Prophecy gamigo (Reakktor Media)2011[media=youtube]XyxPtHLVDpQ[/media]***STORY

In the 26th century, mankind has expanded across the galaxy, yet only few of its colonies are controlled by Humans. The true rulers are the cybernetically enhanced Tyi and the biogenetically perfected Genides. Their striving for total control over all human species drives them into the territory of an ancient alien race that does not tolerate other cosmic civilisations: the "Restorers".

To survive this war and uncover the motives of the alien's destructive behaviour, you are forced to join one of the two dominant human races. Their search for the origin of the Restorers becomes a race for survival of all three human species.

Created in close cooperation with science fiction writer Michael Marrak, the online universe of Black Prophecy lets players jump into countless missions and massive cinematic space battles, to save and sculpt the future of mankind.

Taking control of either E’lara, a ranged weapon expert, or Caddoc, a master swordsman, you and your partner will descend into a dark and foreboding world for an unforgettable cooperative experience. As you travel deep within the world of Kala Moor, you will use a variety of deadly weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to face down wave after wave of vicious enemies.

Scorched Earth author1991An artillery game variant with 10 types of vehicles (tanks), many environmental factors, many defensive options, up to 10 computers and/or human players, and a massive number of types and variants of offensive weapons and items. Players earn currency by kill count to buy these gidgemits and gazmoes. The arms dealer has limited supply and uses a persistent economy (both optional). Players can sell anything back to the dealer, possibly to make a profit. Players earn interest on their capitol based the economy.

The environment can be annoying and hostile to all players. Gravity, wind, lightning strikes, earthquakes, landslides, even meteorites.

Two plain text files in the game's directory contain taunts and dying words. Users can translate or edit these files as they like. The economy and most other options can also be tweaked in this way.

Players take turns moving, activating defenses, tweaking vehicle options, and/or selecting a weapon/attack. Amongst the multitude of possibilities. Weapons are launched at a chosen speed and angle like most artillery games. Strategy is usually simple in artillery games. But all the additional gameplay elements here can interact in many, many ways so that strategy is a major element. Players can direct their vehicles to drive over or fall on top of others, to cause damage to both. The idea being the player causes more damage to their opponent than themselves, but this requires just the right terrain and conditions to favor the attacker. Damage can be caused to the pixel terrain for this and other purposes. Players can attempt to bury each other or themselves. Terrain protects but also limits attack options and even some defense options. Among defense options are several types of shields. Some are a force field that causes weapons to detonate. Others are 'soft' and absorb a percentage of damage. Another type is reflective so that a weapon bounces elsewhere, hopefully into another player or even back at the shooter. All these have pros, cons, and Achilles heals. The better a shield is, the worse it is for the defender if an opponent manages to fire [I] from inside [/I]. Another example, in the right conditions, a skillful shot can be fired so it skips across the bouncy shields of several opponents, depleting energy from all of them. Also, if the wind is right, a skilful bounced shot falls right back on the same opponent multiple times until the opponent's energy is entirely depleted. Everything except regular angle and speed attacks takes energy, especially defenses. Moving and some special weapons also take energy.

An alternative mode allows each player to merely plan their turn. When all players are finished, their orders are executed simultaneously.

Yet another play mode (in v1.5) isn't turn based. Up to 10 players play simultaneously. This is where Gravis Gamepad compatibility really helps. Any extra players beyond 4, for Gravis Gamepad, or 2 for PC joysticks, must share the keyboard.

To begin, the number and type of players are chosen. Options are set. Any of the extra options can be disabled so that even and ordinary artillery game with only one type of tank and infiweapon are used. The number of rounds is set. Each round ends when one player or none is left alive. Currency earned is then used to buy (and/or sell) weapons, defenses, and accessories. A new round begins until last round ends. Players are then shown their rank.

Later versions were written in Borland C++ and Turbo Assembler (author implied in documentation that free tools were used previously). Versions before 1.0 were freeware and lacked most of the features of the shareware version. Shareware versions had many featured removed that were available in the registered versions. Many revisions followed, up until the final 1.5. v1.5 was mostly nagware, having all features of the registered version except for the tri-turret tank. The registered version does come with a deluxe bound manual edition of the HTML documentation. The network/modem play was planned but never implemented.

There are way to many things to list here.***Originally freeware, turned shareware on 1991-06-20.

Space Pirates and Zombies  MinMax Games2011Un juego de acción rápida y directa de naves, con toda una galaxia por explorar.
Destacable es lo fácil y rápido que es crear tus propias naves y la interfaz sencilla y eficaz que luce.
Lo malo del juego es que progresa muy lentamente.

Es un buen juego, especialmente en la parte de exploración y de combate.

6 de 10***At its core, Space Pirates and Zombies is an action based, skill oriented, top down space combat game. It’s similar to the ones we knew and loved in years past, but now using full physics simulation and modern graphics for those oh so pretty explosions. But as you dig deeper, SPAZ becomes much more.

Instead of flying a single ship, you are in charge of an ever growing and evolving fleet, unlocking the rich tactical elements of SPAZ, all accessed at the touch of a button. Issue orders, change ships, apply fleet AI settings, all on the fly. At any moment the battle can change, and the Tactics Panel gives you the tools to make the battle turn in your favor.

As a layer on top of the action and tactics, we have a detailed technology and levelup system akin to what you would expect from an RPG. Learn to build new ships by destroying your enemies. Explore the galaxy to find components, use your hard earned research points to unlock their potential, and then customize every aspect of your new fleet.

Finally, there is the universe in which all this strife and adventure takes place. SPAZ features a persistent randomly generated Galaxy populated with story elements, factions, enemies, missions, items, to provide you with a unique experience each time you play. While you are struggling to survive, uncover the secret of an ever expanding Zombie infestation that spreads by establishing its own real time multi-tiered ecosystem.

Key features:
* 33 ships to research, build, outfit and pilot.
* 70 unique components to discover and customize your fleet’s performance.
* Totally physics based combat system.
* Fight Zombie infestations, battling a full zombie ecosystem comprising four stages of un-life.
* Explore a persistent randomly generated galaxy containing hundreds of star systems.
* Freedom to explore the galaxy and take on challenges at your own pace.
* Aid, flee, or exploit the warring factions in each star system.
* The unique event system lets the player change the balance of power in any star system
* Carefully spend your hard earned research points on hundreds of upgrades across 15 categories.
