Hi guys, Rico here. Sorry about that. But the links to the games themselves should now be working. If you have suggestions, I'd love to work them into a future Retro Game Rundown!

I also loved that game, thanks for reminding me! I've had problems running my old copy on DosBox though, any suggestions? This is a game that's begging for an open-source remake for modern platforms!

Seeing that Syreen commander fleshed out in the ending (so to speak) made playing through that game much more worth for me, haha!

Civilization 2 "It ran well even on the weakest computers when it came out". Not true. I've played every version since Civ 1 (yes I'm an old fart) and none of them ran well on my computer. That was always the sign that I had gotten all I could from the computer I had and it was time to buy a new one. 😉
