The Punisher MicroProse (Paragon Software)1990Murder, vigilantism, revenge, bloody shootouts, family massacres, orgies, animal and human sacrifice, satanism... This was published by Microprose boys and girls. Sure, they do a lot of war simulations with implied violence (killing billions), but I can't recall them ever using so much up-close and personal depictions of so many mature subjects.

Apparently the copy protection questions the game asks about the manual are based on an entirely different manual.

Alien Breed: Tower Assault  Team17 (Team17;East Point Software)1994The floppy version is severely stunted port with much of the game's features and content missing.

Ported to DOS by East Point.

X-COM: UFO Defense  Microprose (Mythos Games)1994Un clásico de acción por turnos, que sigue manteniendo su inmensa dificultad (donde los enemigos muchas veces son más listos que tú y retirarse es una opción muy viable)
Visto desde hoy, peca de una interfaz complejísima e impracticable, en lo cual le supera el reciente XCOM: Enemy Unknown (a pesar de no tener las opciones de varias bases y su construcción en detalle)
Interesante desde el punto de vista histórico, pero a excepción del reto que supone no tiene nada que no se sienta anticuado y obsoleto.

- Command deadly close-combat battles:
Shooting down UFOs is just the beginning; you must the lead a squad of heavily-armed soldiers across different terrains as they investigate the UFO crash site. Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons or life forms.

- Research and manufacture alien technologies:
Successful ground assault missions will allow X-Com scientists to analyse alien items. Each new breakthrough brings you a little closer to understanding the technology and culture of the alien races. When your engineers have amassed sufficient research data on their superior weapons and craft, they'll be available for your troops to use.

- Develop a strategy to save the Earth:
You must make every crucial decision as you combat the powerful alien forces. But you'll also need to watch the world political situation; governments may be forced into secret pacts with the aliens and then begin to reduce X-Com funding.
