Genewars

Genewars (1996)

by Bullfrog Productions, Electronic Arts
Genres:Strategy, Real Time Strategy (RTS)
Themes:Action, Comedy, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Once the inhabitants of Planet Earth finally got it together enough space travel-wise to explore outside the solar system, they discovered that there were three other races doing exactly the same: the sneaky, reptilian Saurians, the understandably uptight, nasally gifted Schnozzoids, and the curiously laid-back Bohemians. Each of these races being just as self-important, aggressive (except for the Bohemians) and intolerant as the Earthlings, it wasn't long before an intergalactic pagga of quite exceptional proportions kicked off. Advanced technologies previously used in the fast-food, mail-order gizmo and executive leisure industries were swiftly adapted into weaponry of astoundingly destructive properties, and the suzerainty of many hundred previously quiet, green planets was disputed in a most antisocial manner.Show more

A cherished childhood strategy game where you mixed creatures, explored alien planets, and battled rivals in real-time. Details are hazy, but the fun is crystal clear.

RTS with incredible biological units that have a lifespan, need food, and can multiply. You have to plant forest yourself for be able to cut those trees for resources, and there are different plants to choose. Buildings explodes on destruction spectaculary, leaving no survivors. All this in very beautiful graphics. This game definetely should be preserved.

Only ever played the demo from a PC Games cd but would find myself returning to it alot. At the time was not easy to obtain new titles and would've had this one in my library. Need more power to see this one I think, so I'll keep building those photon processors until then.
Those games also need your vote!
