163D Realms. Wow. Practically every other game I played when I first got into video games was a 3D Realms title, so they're an intrinsic part of PC gaming as I know it. Surreal.
In sunnier news, I'm excited about the upcoming StarCraft 2 beta. Nick badgered me into playing StarCraft recently and it seems we've finally found a game he's better at than me. Hopefully SC2's changes throw him off enough for me to win at least one round.
I can't remember its name, I've spent a while googling and looking through categories on Abandonia, and Home of the Underdogs went tits-up this year so that's no help either. Now I turn to you, shack.
As I remember, it was a top-down, hex-based, turn-based war game. The units were modern-to-futuristic, with regular tanks and hover tanks, infantry, indirect artillery, and the like. I think there was a unit called the MegaTank, and an artillery unit called GSM, nicknamed "Grunt Smashing Missile" (though googling that phrase comes up with zilch).
It played a lot like Uniwars (the recent iPhone app), and It would have been from 1996 or a few years before then. Does anyone else remember it, or am I crazy?
