Title:3D MissileGenre:Strategy
Developer:Aaron AldermanYear:2000
Description:A Scorched Earth clone in 3D. Rotate your turret, change the gun elevation and power in order to hit the opponent. Two players or more only game. Vector graphics. The game is rather un-polished, with rather clumsy controls, making it difficult to play.

Title:Assault ver.2Genre:Strategy
Developer:Glenn PowellYear:1999
Description:An excellent Worms remake with very good graphics. In Assault you control tanks, but they can jump(?!) too. Many options, weapons and cool sound effects. The negative points are the lack of AI (computer opponent) and mission mode.

Title:CannonsGenre:Strategy
Developer:red_MarvinYear:2003
Description:An ok Scorched Earth clone made for the one key challenge where you had to create a game controlled with one key (the very game, not the menus, etc.). The graphics are ok, as the gameplay. Still, Cannons doesn't feature computer opponent(s) so without someone to play it with, it's not much of a fun game. No music or sound effects.

Title:ColonyGenre:Strategy

Description:In this game the player builds a colony on an uninhabited planet, similar to Outpost. The game could use more options and it gets boring very fast. Poor graphics.

Title:Dark QuestGenre:Strategy
Developer:KENTAURI (Lachie Dazdarian)Year:2002
Description:Dark Quest is a good mix of action and strategy set in a fantasy world. Through a number of missions you control one character directly, while you only control the behavior of four others. The missions are relatively short, which gives you a sense of completion as you progress through them. You can also play this game in a Sheep Galore Mode, where you're only objective is to slaughter all the sheep in the level as fast as possible. The Quest Mode features a long introduction story, which is interesting, but a bit too long especially since it's plain text, although the background images are good. The game has good graphics, but poor animation. Both game modes can be played either as one or two players (split screen), where the two players mode is cooperative in the Quest Mode. The Quest Mode is relatively short. Only PC Speaker sound effects are featured. The biggest flaw of the game are the poor hit routines, which can be annoying.

Title:Hegemony 3.0.eGenre:Strategy

Title:HerlandGenre:Strategy
Developer:MicroHofYear:1998
Description:An interesting strategy game where the player manages a society of women by building structures and assigning professions to citizens. The amount of options is not very big, but the game is well designed featuring nice controls and average graphics. I think the game features some minimal PC Speaker sound effects, almost non-existent.

Title:King's Land ver.2Genre:Strategy
Developer:Jace MasulaYear:2006
Description:A very nice strategy game, but it's rather small and un-ambitiously designed. It features very good gameplay allowing the user to build his city, gather/harvest materials/food and use various battle units from plain soldiers to paladins and catapults. The biggest problem of the game is the lack of randomization, so the game plays on the same way on each difficulty level (same starting positions of conflicted sides on the same map). This reduces the replay value of the game a lot. Also, the game is very difficult. I only managed to finish it on easy difficulty. The player is attacked by a much stronger enemy too early in the game, not leaving him enough time to strategize and build a proper defense. Very good graphics. No sound effects or music. King's Land is missing proper documentation and some sort of instructions (the player is left to learn the game mechanics and options by trial and error).

Title:Kingdom of Lalore IIGenre:Strategy
Developer:Dark~Terror (Ray Green) Year:1996
Description:Some sort of obscure strategy game. You fight against enemy rulers in a fantasy world. I wasn't able to test the game properly since I needed DOSBox to run it and it's not compiled. The graphics are nothing special. I can't say much about the gamepay, but the game features a lot of options.

Title:KingdomsGenre:Strategy

Title:LabyrinthGenre:Strategy
Developer:Daniel BoswellYear:1995
Description:A solid Labyrinth game featuring two colored doors/keys, water, planks, trapdoors, switches, and more. The graphics are very simple, but the game features very nice real-time mini-map, as well as a window showing the close surrounding. The lack of better presentation, more labyrinths (only 2), and some bugs lower the quality of this highly potential labyrinth game.

Title:Mini Space EmpiresGenre:Strategy
Developer:Murat ElicYear:2003
Description:An average strategy game in space. Build structures on your planet, build ships, colonize new planets and invade enemy planets. The graphical design is very nice. Too bad the game can't be played against human opponents. Also, the game could use menus and documentation. Like this, it looks half done. The gameplay is ok. There is no progress, but for each new game planet positions are randomized.

Title:SantaGenre:Strategy
Developer:SleighYear:0000
Description:A Scorched Earth clone. Santa looks like QB Gorillas with remade graphics. The game is multiplayer only. Ok controls and terrain generator, but the game is too poor in content to get a higher score. There are other QBasic games with the same concept that offer much more.

Title:Sim City 2002Genre:Strategy
Developer:Igor UchanskyYear:2002
Description:Sim City 2002 is some sort of text version of Sim City 2000. All the features are there and the gameplay seems to work. What ruins the gameplay is the stupid delay routine which makes the game run too fast on any PC better than a 486. Without some slowdown utility this game is unplayable.

Title:Space DuelGenre:Strategy
Developer:Jonathan HopkinsonYear:1999
Description:Some strange turn-based, space ship duel game. It can be played against a computer or a human opponent. Before each battle the player(s) can modify various ship components from the engine to weapons. The control keys are badly chosen and the gameplay seems doubtful. EGA graphics. I might be wrong with the score, but I doubt. If curious, check the game out.

Title:Star Trek - The CaptureGenre:Strategy

Title:StarQuest v.1.1Genre:Strategy

Description:A management/action game in space. Explore the galaxy, gather minerals, visit planets and upgrade your ship with new weapons, armor and similar. Strategy part is very good while the action part of the game is rather poor (mineral gathering) but playable. The graphics are very nicely done in some parts (in the action part it's not so good). Similar to Elite (in concept).

Title:Tank Wars!Genre:Strategy
Developer:Antz EntertainmentYear:2000
Description:A turn-based aim and shoot game. One of the better QBasic Scorched Earth clones. It has all that this type of game should have. Ability to play against human and computer opponents (different combinations; up to four players per battle), different AI difficulties, ability to set the wind characteristic, terrain randomizer, different weapons, weapons shop and more. A very well coded and designed game. What it lacks is slightly better graphics, more flashy menus and sound effects and music.

Title:Torched EarthGenre:Strategy
Developer:Delta CodeYear:2000
Description:Another Scorched Earth clone and this one is very similar to the original. Set your angle and power and shoot at the opponent tanks on the screen. A turn-based game. Quite good, but not good as Tank Wars. Torched Earth does feature few more interesting weapons, but the AI algorithm is very poor (computer shoots randomly) and the graphics are slightly poorer than in Tank Wars.

Description:A highly addictive text-based simulation of a ship trading company. Buy ships, send them to trading routes and earn money. The options are intelligently designed so controlling the game is very enjoyable. If you are into simulations of this sort and don't care about graphics, this is something you'll like.

Title:TrekGenre:Strategy

Description:An above average turn-based strategy game placed in the Star Trek world. The gameplay is quite addictive. In Trek you only control one ship in the fleet and can get promoted or demoted after each mission. The graphics are not much varied and the gameplay could use more features but still, a very fun game to play. Hi-res (640*480) graphics. Sound Blaster sound effects (a lot of speech messages). No music.

Title:Vector FireGenre:Strategy

Description:A turn-based aim and shoot game like Scorched Earth but in 3D. Well, pseudo 3D. The battleground is displayed with a side and top view port. The game can be played only against another human opponent. I found aiming a very tedious thing to do. The game screen is too confusing and poorly designed. Simple graphics and no sound.
