That's "Lord of Conquests" but I don't think that was a popular game... was it?

Kropotkin got it. It was fairly popular during the period it came out and the second EA game I bought after Archon. Next.

So, OK. Gotta come up with a new game. I hope you'll manage to solve it until I go away on a holiday trip on sunday, but that's usually not a problem. The opposite really...

First clue:

1) Quite simple strategy game (as in; not very advanced) for the amiga (and PC also), late 1980s.

I didn't know it was available on the PC, according to EA they only made it available for the C64.

I know that you did not mean it that way, but that comes off pretty harsh. Sometimes we do not know all of the platforms.

Sorry if it came off as a bit harsh but i played Lords of conquest on the pc. I always thought it was a pc only game because in difficult situations the AI would fall into a near infinite thinking loop. Had i known it was a c64 game as well I probably would have ventured a second guess. Not that I mind looking from the sidelines at others having a go ,)

When I choose a game i usually try and select games that came out for multiple platforms. I just do a quick checkup on the web to make sure.

Well I'll be the first to admit that I do not check, but I ususally have chosen a game that was C64 only in an era before IBM. However, I might say something like not sure about PC platform or the like.

I don't want to start a flame war or anything, cuz I think you are a pretty cool guy and I have much respect for you gaming knowledge. Especially when I start talking with my buddies about some old game, remembering every detail, they look at me like I'm a freak...Well it is good to know that I am not alone!

No, both wrong. You have to undestand that the link isn't as obvious as one might think (when you know the answer it is of cource). Next clue.

3) The stategic conflict is conducted on a global scale between four sides.

But New World Computing´s Nuclear War does have 4 players (well 5 if you include yourself) That would have to be it.

Bingo ADG!

What's wrong with the 3rd clue? Wasn't it four sides? Now when you questioned the clue I started to get unsure about it... It was four enemies with you in the middle. Oh well, you got it.

I read this:

as a 4 player game... 4 including yourself... not as a 5 player game, with 4 enemies...


Anyway, next game coming right up...

Hey ADG dont worry it was a complete fluke on my part, I wont be so lucky next time

North and South was a great fun game - one of the few to blend two different playing styles so well.I never did get very good at always getting to the gold on the moving trains. I always thought it was more popular on the PC though?

and i dont even have a game to guess.............just yet. Give me a while to sort one out(and see what hasn't been done yet!)

OK GAME:

Platform: Amiga and maybe another? 1990's ish

Clue 1: adventure with a different but distinctive perspective.

I can think of loads of PC adventure games with "different perspectives" but the Amiga was one computer I never owned.
