Z
As a fan of the RTS I hear good things about the old games (such
as the original command and conquer), and I found a lot of community
support for Z, So I got it and found a patch for windows xp/vista
and it was great.
Ok so the graphics aren't great but what did you really expect from
a game made in 1996.
Firstly, the objective is to destroy the enemy HQ like any other
RTS, however there is no base building (other than turrets) instead
you capture territories which allow you to capture buildings (such
as factories) however the enemy can also do this and take the
territories of you which I thought was a brilliant way to add an
ever changing battleground environment.
Secondly, the multiplayer is brilliant (except from having to use a
separate program called the Zod Engine) you can have a maximum of 4
players and with a map maker it allowed me to create my own map and
download other peoples maps which was a great way to expand the
game.
Thirdly, the online community is still alive and active (which is
surprising due to the fact of how old the game is) and even though
it has potential for some great mods I think the only custom content
it needs is just maps as the game engine is very adaptable.
A very good game 9/10 from but only because of the graphics really
maybe an updated version?
